Comparison of the safety and efficacy of remimazolam versus propofol for sedation in patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy with preserved spontaneous breathing: a retrospective analysis
Ying Wang
Background and ObjectivesAdequate sedation with preserved spontaneous breathing and stable hemodynamics is critical for the success and safety of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). Remimazolam, a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine with rapid metabolism and favorable sedative profiles, has shown promising sedative effects for procedural sedation. However, comparative data on its application in FOB with preserved spontaneous breathing remain limited. This retrospective study aimed to compare the
