Association Between American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System and Remimazolam Sedation Outcomes

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate the safety of remimazolam (RM) for procedural sedation in emergency department patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-III, specifically assessing the occurrence of respiratory complications. The findings indicated that 95%-100% of patients experienced no or mild/moderate respiratory issues, with ASA I and III patients showing the best outcomes, suggesting RM is a safe option for sedation across these ASA classifications.
