Statin's effect on muscle relaxants during surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
