Abstract:
Remimazolam, a novel short-acting benzodiazepine, has garnered interest in the realm of procedural sedation. Targeting a desired level of sedation requires a medication with both anesthetic and analgesic properties, particularly in non-operating room anesthetizing locations. Via gammaaminobutyric acid type A receptor agonism, Remimazolam has demonstrated organ-independent metabolism and rapid time to both onset and recovery and has efficacy for procedural sedation in clinical trials. This article provides a review of the current literature on the utility of remimazolam for procedural sedation.

Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Miscellaneous Agents
Melatonin congeners like ramelteon (Rozerem) and tasimelteon (Hetlioz) selectively bind to melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2) and thus mimic the actions of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Tasimelteon is primarily used for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, common in blind patients. They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia...
Sedatives and Hypnotics: Overview
Sedative-hypnotics are categorized into barbiturates, benzodiazepines (BZDs), and non-benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. These drugs work by suppressing central nervous system activity, and this suppression is dose-dependent. Older sedative medications, like barbiturates, follow a linear curve in...

Sedatives and Hypnotics Drugs: Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines work by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. They bind to the GABAA receptor, increasing its affinity for GABA, which opens chloride...
