NCT ID NCT07467603
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 58 frail elderly patients (65+) to find the best dose of remimazolam, a sedative used for anesthesia. Researchers used a special monitor to track breathing and adjusted doses carefully. The goal is to help doctors give just enough medicine to put patients to sleep without causing breathing problems.
