Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling for remimazolam in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in healthy subjects and in surgical subjects

Abstract

If using a weight-based regimen, results illustrated an appropriate regimen of remimazolam for general anesthesia and post-surgical sedation in general and sensitive populations, although lower doses can be considered in elderly patients with a significant disease burden or in ASA Class 3 patients. The time-dependent change in clearance is not clinically relevant for up to 24 h.
