Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Neuromuscular Blockade
Interventions
Drug: Deep neuromascular blockage
Drug: Moderate neuromascular blockage
Registration Number
NCT06553066
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital of Patras
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of depth of neuromuscular blockade on the surgical field, patient postoperative pain, intestinal motility, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and the effect of deep versus moderate neuromuscular blockade on postoperative atelectasis quantitatively using chest computed tomography.This is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical-controlled study in patients ≥18 years old scheduled to undergo elective bariatric surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
impact of a deep neuromuscular blockade on surgical conditionsDuring surgery

impact of a deep neuromuscular blockade (TOF count = 0 and posttetanic count \[PTC\] 1-2) and a moderate neuromuscular blockade (TOF count= 1 - 3) on intraoperative surgical conditions assessed by the surgeon as a 5 points scale

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean arterial pressure (mmHg)intraoperative and in Postanesthesia care unit

measured before induction to general anesthesia, immediately after induction and every 15 min until the end of operation and immediately after awareness.at 15 min intervals starting upon arrival in the post anesthesia care unit

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)until first postoperative day

incidence of PONV

cumulative analgetid dose (mg)until 2 PM the next day of the surgery

cumulative analgetid dose until 2 PM the next day of the surgery

PIPcmH20 ( Peak inspiratory pressure)intraoperative

Respiratory mechanical parameters were measured after intubation at suspine position, after insufflation of pneumoperitoneum , then the standard different positions of the patient ( Anti-Trendelenburg, supine, anti-trendelenburg and suspine position without premoperitoneum at the end of the procedure)

the effect of deep versus moderate neuromuscular blockade on postoperative atelectasis quantitatively using chest computed tomography.in the first six postoperative hours

quantitatively using chest computed tomography and expressed as percentage to total lung tissue volume

Postoperative painfirst postoperative day

Pain was measured four times in the PACU (at 15 min intervals starting upon arrival) and twice on the ward (8PM the day of surgery and 2 PM the next day).Pain was measured using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most pain imaginable).

Hospitalization time ( days)up to 2 weeks
