| Core Tip |
This meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials involving 1994 elderly patients establishes the superior hemodynamic safety of remimazolam over propofol during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Remimazolam reduced the risk of hypotension by more than half compared to propofol, while significantly lowering incidences of bradycardia, respiratory depression, and injection pain. Crucially, these safety advantages were achieved without compromising recovery times or increasing post-operative nausea. These quantitative findings demonstrate that remimazolam serves as a safer, highly stable sedative alternative for mitigating cardiorespiratory risks in vulnerable older populations. |
