How muscle relaxants work during anesthesia in statin users
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how muscle relaxants (medicines that help with surgery) work during anesthesia in people who take statins compared to those who don't. Taking a statin might change how these medicines affect you, and this trial aims to help doctors give safer anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
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 trial compares two devices that measure how well muscle relaxant medicine is working during planned surgery. It may help anesthesiologists choose monitoring that improves safety by confirming the muscles are relaxing as intended.
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 looks at how the amount of belly muscle seen on a CT scan relates to the dose of muscle relaxant needed during colon surgery. It may help doctors tailor anesthesia to each patient.
