RESUMEN
A 60-year-old woman with a 5-year history of anxiolytic use, a diazepam-equivalent daily dose of 15 mg, was scheduled for esophageal stent removal. She was given remimazolam (0.5 mg/kg) but remained fully alert. She only lost consciousness with propofol (40 mg). A 61-year-old man with a 1-year history of anxiolytic use, diazepam-equivalent daily dose of 20 mg, was scheduled for hand tumor resection. He was given remimazolam (0.3 mg/kg) but remained fully alert. He only lost consciousness after desflurane inhalation. In a patient with a history of long-term benzodiazepine use, anesthetic or sedative agents aside from remimazolam should be considered.
