Remimazolam is an ultrashort acting intravenous sedative-hypnotic approved for procedural sedation. We report a series of 8 cases of radiographically placed gastrostomy tubes using remimazolam as the sole anesthetic agent. Interventional radiology (IR) gastrostomy tube placement entails anesthetizing often complex patients in a nonoperating room environment. All 8 patients reported here underwent successful gastrostomy tube placement without the need for conversion to general anesthesia. Remimazolam is a feasible option to sedate patients for gastrostomy tube placement in the IR suite.
雷米唑仑是一种超短效静脉镇静催眠药，已获准用于程序镇静。我们报告了 8 例使用雷米唑仑作为唯一麻醉剂进行影像学引导下胃造瘘管放置的病例。介入放射学（IR）胃造瘘管放置需要在非手术室环境中麻醉通常复杂的患者。这里报告的所有 8 例患者均成功进行了胃造瘘管放置，无需转为全身麻醉。雷米唑仑是在 IR 套房中镇静患者进行胃造瘘管放置的可行选择。
