Remimazolam for anesthesia and sedation in cardiac surgery and for cardiac patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: a systematic-narrative hybrid review

Though remimazolam has demonstrated potential safety, efficacy, and ease-of-use for both anesthesia induction and maintenance in cardiac surgery patients and high-risk cardiovascular patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery, further research is imperative to delve into specific patient subgroups (e.g., the elderly or emergent procedures) so as to ascertain optimal dose ranges to suit diverse clinical scenarios.
