Abdominal muscle size and muscle relaxant during colon surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the amount of abdominal muscle seen on a CT scan affects how muscle relaxants work during colon surgery. It may help doctors find the right dose of muscle relaxant for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective colon surgery with general anesthesia.
- You have had or will have an abdominal CT scan as part of your routine surgical preparation.
- Your health status falls within ASA class 1, 2, or 3 (generally, you are healthy or have mild to moderate health issues).
- You do not have severe kidney problems (eGFR at least 60).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a history of muscle or nerve disorders and do not take medications that can change the effect of muscle relaxants.

This trial compares two levels of muscle relaxation during laparoscopic bariatric surgery. It aims to find which level provides the best surgical conditions and may help patients recover more smoothly.
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.
This study checks if taking statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) changes how muscle relaxants work during surgery with general anesthesia. It may help doctors understand if they need to adjust anesthesia for statin users.
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 different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
This study tests two devices that measure how well muscle relaxants work in young children during surgery. The goal is to see which device gives more accurate readings, helping doctors use the right dose of relaxant.
