BACKGROUND: General anaesthesia can immobile patients during interventional neuroradiology to improve image quality. Remimazolam, an ultrashort-acting benzodiazepine, is advantageous for haemodynamic stability. This study compared remimazolam and propofol anaesthesia during neuroradiology procedures regarding intraoperative hypotensive events and rapid recovery. METHODS: This single-masked randomised-controlled study included 76 participants who underwent elective endovascular embolisation in a single centre. Patients were randomised between a continuous remimazolam infusion (n = 38) or a target-controlled propofol infusion group (n = 38). In the remimazolam group, flumazenil (0.2 mg) was administered at the end of the procedure. Phenylephrine was titrated to maintain the mean arterial pressure within ± 20% of the baseline value. The primary outcome was the total phenylephrine dose during the procedure. RESULTS: The total phenylephrine dose was 0.0 [0.0-30.0] µg in the remimazolam group and 30.0 [0.0-205.0] µg in the propofol group (p = 0.001). Hypotensive events were observed in 11 (28.9%) patients in the remimazolam group and 23 (60.5%) patients in the propofol group (p = 0.001). Recovery times to spontaneous breathing, eye-opening, extubation, and orientation were shorter in the remimazolam group than in the propofol group (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Remimazolam anaesthesia showed superior haemodynamic stability compared with propofol anaesthesia during neuroradiology procedures. Systematic use of flumazenil enabled rapid recovery from remimazolam anaesthesia.
