Summary

This study tests a new sedative called remimazolam for people in the ICU who need a breathing tube after oral or facial surgery. It compares remimazolam to two standard sedatives, propofol and midazolam, to see if it works just as well and helps patients wake up faster. The trial involves 117 adults and is currently on hold.
