Purpose This trial was conducted to confirm the non-inferiority of remimazolam versus propofol in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in surgical patients. Methods Surgical patients (n = 375) were randomized to remimazolam started at 6 or 12 mg/kg/h by continuous intravenous (IV) infusion until the loss of consciousness (LoC), followed by 1 mg/kg/h to be adjusted as appropriate until the end of surgery or IV propofol administered as a slow bolus of 2.0-2.5 mg/kg until LoC followed by 4-10 mg/kg/h until the end of surgery. Efficacy was measured via the combined primary endpoint of no intraoperative awakening/recall, no need for rescue sedatives, and no body movements. Adverse events and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were monitored for safety. Results Efficacy rates were 100% in all treatment groups, and the non-inferiority of remimazolam was demonstrated [95% confidence interval (- 0.0487; 0.0250)]. The time to LoC was longer in the remimazolam 6 (p < 0.0001) and 12 mg/kg/h (p = 0.0149) groups versus propofol. The time to extubation was longer in both remimazolam groups versus the propofol group (p
