Efficacy and Recovery of Remimazolam Versus Midazolam in Sedated Colonoscopy: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial in Japan. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Sedation during colonoscopy is becoming increasingly important. Remimazolam, an ultra‐short‐acting benzodiazepine, has a shorter pharmacokinetic half‐life than that of midazolam. This study examined whether remimazolam provides superior sedation during colonoscopy in Japanese patients.

Efficacy and Safety of Remimazolam Compared to Midazolam for Sedation During Endoscopic Ultrasonography: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Remimazolam is a novel ultra–short‐acting benzodiazepine that may offer advantages over conventional sedatives in endoscopic procedures. Evidence for its use in pancreatobiliary endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is limited. We compared the efficacy and safety of remimazolam and midazolam in outpatient pancreatobiliary EUS.

Comparison of Adverse Reactions Between Remimazolam and Propofol in Hysteroscopic Surgery in Mainland China: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review. [PDF]
Background The purpose of this meta‐analysis was to compare the adverse reactions of remimazolam and propofol in hysteroscopic anesthesia and to evaluate the efficacy of remimazolam in alleviating adverse reactions. Methods We conducted a database search using China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), PubMed, and the Cochrane Library to identify ...
