A Retrospective Comparative Study of the Frequency of Hypotension in Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization under General Anesthesia: Remimazolam versus Sevoflurane
Authors' conclusion
Remimazolam was not associated with a lower incidence of hypotension compared to sevoflurane during pediatric cardiac catheterization for congenital heart disease while maintaining significantly higher blood pressure overall.
