impact of a deep neuromuscular blockade on surgical conditions

Study Overview

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.

Arms & Interventions

Group DNMB ( Deep neuromascular blockage)

Experimental

Deep Neuromuscular Block group Intervention: maintenance of a deep neuromuscular block with rocuronium, titrated to maintain a TOF count of 0, and a PTC between 1-2.

Quality of surgical field conditions' assessed by a blind surgeon as a 5 points scale(Leiden scale : 1 indicates extremely poor conditions, 2 poor conditions, 3 acceptable conditions, 4, good conditions and 5 optimal conditions)

Intervention: Deep neuromascular blockage (Drug)

Group MNMB ( Moderate neuromascular blockage)

Active Comparator

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

impact of a deep neuromuscular blockade on surgical conditions

Time Frame: During 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 Outcomes

  • cumulative analgetid dose (mg)(until 2 PM the next day of the surgery)
  • PIPcmH20 ( Peak inspiratory pressure)(intraoperative)
  • the effect of deep versus moderate neuromuscular blockade on postoperative atelectasis quantitatively using chest computed tomography.(in the first six postoperative hours)
  • Postoperative pain(first postoperative day)
  • Hospitalization time ( days)(up to 2 weeks)
  • PEEP cmH20(Intraoperative)
  • duration of surgery (hr)(intrapostoperative)
  • oxygen saturation (SpO2) %(intraoperative and in Postanesthesia care unit)
  • DP cmH20( Driving pressure)(Intraoperative)
  • The first flatus time (min)(up to 5 days)
  • duration of anesthesia time (min)(intraoperative)
  • Pplat cmH20 ( plateau pressure),(Intraoperative)
  • tidal volume (ml)(Intraoperative)
  • dynamic compliance ml/cmH20,(Intraoperative)
  • Resistance cmH20/L/sec(Intraoperative)
