First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two drugs used to put people to sleep for gallbladder surgery: remimazolam and propofol. Researchers measure how quickly each drug causes loss of consciousness and check for side effects like low blood pressure. Participants are healthy adults aged 18–50 undergoing planned laparoscopic gallbladder removal.

Active substance
remimazolam or propofol
What this could lead to
