Muscle Relaxant Recovery After Surgery
This study looks at whether the effects of muscle relaxants given during surgery still affect patients after they wake up, and if that leads to any complications. It may help doctors improve care for people who have general anesthesia with muscle relaxants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery with general anesthesia that includes a muscle relaxant (a drug that temporarily stops your muscles from moving).
- You will be admitted to the hospital after surgery (not same-day surgery).
- You do not have a disease that affects your muscles or the nerves that control them (like muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, or ALS).
- You are not going to the intensive care unit (ICU) right after surgery.
- You can sign a consent form to participate.

This study checks how well your muscles recover after surgery when you have received medications to relax them during anesthesia. It tests a tool that predicts the risk of ongoing muscle weakness after waking up, to help improve safe recovery.
This study looks at whether a simple risk score can predict how long it takes for muscles to fully recover after surgery. It may help doctors decide when it is safe to wake you up fully.
This study compares two methods of monitoring how well muscle relaxants are working during non-cardiac, non-chest surgery. It aims to find which method helps doctors manage these drugs better and improve recovery.
This trial tests a way to reverse the effects of a muscle relaxant used during surgery, aiming to help you recover breathing and muscle control faster after anesthesia.
This trial uses a device called TetraGraph to measure how quickly a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) works and wears off during surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for patients who need this medicine.
This study compares two ways to monitor muscle relaxation during surgery. It looks at how well a nerve monitor on the arm works versus one on the wrist, to help doctors give the right amount of muscle relaxant medicine.
