Takayasu’s arteritis is a persistent chronic progressive inflammation of the large- and medium-caliber arteries. Controlling cardiovascular variability during anesthesia and overcoming difficulties of cardiovascular monitoring due to the impaired vessels are important in patients with Takayasu’s arteritis. Remimazolam is a novel short-acting benzodiazepine with mild effects on hemodynamics. We report the case of a patient with Takayasu’s arteritis who underwent oral surgery under general anesthesia. This report highlights the use of remimazolam and remifentanil to reduce hemodynamic perturbations using estimated continuous cardiac output monitoring.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
