Effect of Remimazolam Versus Propofol Total Intravenous Anesthesia on Intraoperative Hemodynamic Stability in Patients Undergoing Thoracic or Abdominal Endovascular Aortic Repair

The purpose of this study is to compare two intravenous anesthetics, remimazolam and propofol, for their effects on intraoperative hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing thoracic or abdominal endovascular aortic repair. Maintaining blood pressure during these procedures is important to preserve organ perfusion, yet anesthetic-induced hypotension often requires vasopressor support. Since direct comparisons of these two anesthetics on hemodynamic outcomes in this population are limited, this randomized, single-blind, controlled trial will compare the intraoperative vasopressor requirement between the two groups to provide evidence for selecting a more hemodynamically stable anesthetic in these high-risk patients.

Low-dose Propofol Plus High-dose Alfentanil in Rapid Sequence Induction

This study compares four different anesthesia induction regimens to see which one provides the most stable blood pressure and heart rate during rapid sequence intubation. A total of 172 patients undergoing elective surgery will receive one of four combinations of propofol and opioids (alfentanil or sufentanil). The main outcomes are hypotension (low blood pressure), inadequate blunting of the stress response to intubation, and intubating conditions. The study aims to determine whether a lower dose of propofol combined with a higher dose of alfentanil can improve hemodynamic stability without compromising the quality of tracheal intubation.
