Overview
Remimazolam is a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine with extensive evidence supporting its safety and efficacy in clinical anesthesia and sedation. Its perioperative use in patients with glioma is becoming increasingly common. Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor and is often associated with neurocognitive impairment, with memory being the most frequently affected domain. Working memory, which integrates temporary storage and information processing, serves as a cognitive workspace. Currently, the impact of anesthetics on neurocognitive function during the perioperative period in glioma patients remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the effects of remimazolam-induced mild sedation on working memory in healthy subjects and patients with supratentorial glioma by combining behavioral and electrophysiological measurements, focusing on the relationship with the P3b event-related potential amplitude. Furthermore, it explores how remimazolam sedation influences brain network functional connectivity during the encoding, maintenance, and retrieval phases of memory in healthy individuals and patients with supratentorial glioma.
Interventions
- Drug mild sedation
In this experiment, all subjects were administered remimazolam via a TCI pump until they reached a state of mild sedation, as indicated by a MOAA/S score of 4.
Primary outcome measures
- behavioral results, including reaction time and accuracy rate [Time frame: All participants completed the working memory test one day before the surgery.]
- P3b event-related potential (ERP) [Time frame: All participants completed the working memory test one day before the surgery, with simultaneous collection of 64-channel scalp electroencephalogram (EEG).]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
A. Healthy brain group:

- Aged 18-65 years old;
- Native speakers of Chinese;
- Right-handed; ④ ASA physical status I-II;
- Normal vision or corrected vision;
- Patients with supratentorial glioma who have primary unilateral space-occupying lesions confirmed by CT/MRI and require surgery and anesthesia.
Exclusion criteria
A. Healthy brain group:
- Allergic to remimazolam or with contraindications to remimazolam (myasthenia gravis, schizophrenia, severe depressive state);
- History of drug abuse or alcoholism;
- History of mental or neurological diseases that prevent cooperation in completing the trial; ④ Pregnant or lactating women;
- Score of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) < 27; ⑥ Past history of intracranial diseases or intracranial surgery
B. Glioma brain group:
- Receiving sedative treatment within 72 hours prior to the study;
