Effect of Remimazolam on Postoperative Delirium

Summary

Remimazolam is a novel benzodiazepine with ultra-short onset and offset of its effect. It can be used for general anesthesia. However, classical benzodiazepine such as midazolam was reported to increase the risk of postoperative delirium. Thus, the investigators aim to investigate the effect of remimazolam general anesthesia on postoperative delirium in elderly patients.
