Effect of Remimazolam Versus Dexmedetomidine on the Incidence of Delirium After Elective Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

"Postoperative Use:~Bolus: 10-20 mg intravenously as needed for sedation initiation. Continuous infusion: 0.3-0.5 mg/kg/hour to maintain light sedation adjusted based on clinical response."

"Postoperative Use:~Initial bolus: 5 mg intravenously upon ICU arrival. Continuous infusion: 0.2-0.3 mg/kg/hour to maintain light sedation with a maximum dose of 0.8 mg/kg/hour.~Rescue sedation with propofol or midazolam will be allowed if patients become agitated or if Remimazolam is ineffective in maintaining target sedation."

"Postoperative Use:~Loading dose: 0.5-1 μg/kg over 10-20 minutes after ICU arrival. Continuous infusion: 0.2-0.7 μg/kg/hour for sedation maintenance, adjusted as needed to maintain light sedation.~Rescue sedation with propofol or midazolam will be administered if Dexmedetomidine fails to maintain adequate sedation or if patients become agitated."
