Abstract
BackgroundRemimazolam is an intravenous ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine with the benefit of hemodynamic stability, including blood pressure and pulse rate. We report a case in which remimazolam was used in living donor liver transplantation with stable hemodynamics.Case presentationA 19-year-old woman underwent living donor liver transplantation due to end-stage liver disease, which is associated with a hyperdynamic state and hemodynamic instability. The patient’s sister had a history of malignant hyperthermia, so we chose total intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam. Intraoperative bleeding of seven liters occurred, but she had mild intraoperative blood pressure changes, and continuous catecholamine administration was not necessary. The patient had no memories or discomfort during the surgery.ConclusionsWe maintained stable hemodynamics using remimazolam for anesthetic management of a patient undergoing a liver transplantation, which is characterized by a hyperdynamic state and circulatory instability.
