Novel tests of semantic memory, such as memory for news events, are also impaired early on but have...

- The Safety and Efficacy of Remimazolam Compared to Dexmedetomidine for Awake Tracheal Intubation by Flexible Bronchoscopy: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trialby Qiumiao Chen on April 2, 2024
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, both DS and R(2)S had higher success rates of sedation, better intubation conditions, and minor respiratory depression, but R(2)S, with its shorter intubation time, higher incidence of anterograde amnesia, and ability to be antagonized by specific antagonists, may be a good alternative sedation regimen for patients undergoing ATI-FB.
