Inhaled Remimazolam Potentiates Inhaled Remifentanil in Rodents.
Remimazolam is an ester-based short-acting benzodiazepine currently in clinical trials for IV administration. This study explored the feasibility of delivering remimazolam alone and as an adjunct to remifentanil via inhalation in rodent models. ⋯ Remimazolam can significantly potentiate the analgesic effect of remifentanil when concurrently delivered via inhalation.
