Assessment of explicit and implicit memories during remimazolam anaesthesia using the process dissociation procedure: A prospective cohort study
Authors' conclusion
There was no evidence of explicit or implicit memory formation during remimazolam anaesthesia (BIS 60 to 80).
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing GA with remimazolam, BIS maintained at 60 to 80; tertiary centre, Seoul, South Korea, March–July 2022
- Participants
- 100 patients
- Outcome
- Probability of explicit or implicit memory formation (process dissociation procedure; original and extended models); memory absent if 95% CI includes 0
- Follow-up
- Within 24 h after word presentation
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Probability of explicit memory formation, original model
−0.01 (−0.04 to 0.02) (95% CI includes 0)
Probability of explicit memory formation, extended model
−0.04 (−0.10 to 0.01) (95% CI includes 0)
Probability of implicit memory formation, original model
0.08 (0.06 to 0.10) (95% CI does not include 0)
Probability of implicit memory formation, extended model
0.00 (−0.03 to 0.03) (95% CI includes 0)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Conscious recall (modified Brice interview) · within 1 and 24 h after surgery
