Cardiovascular Effects of Muscle Relaxation During Laparoscopic Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Hemodynamic Instability

• Registration Number: NCT04076709
• Lead Sponsor: Leiden University Medical Center

Brief Summary

Many surgical procedures are performed using the laparoscopic approach. However, insufflation of the abdomen (pneumoperitoneum) has detrimental hemodynamic effects. The investigators intend to investigate the effect of deep neuromuscular block and nociception guided anaesthesia on hemodynamic variables during pneumoperitoneum for lower abdominal laparoscopic surgery.
