Muscle relaxants and gas pressure in robotic surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a medicine that relaxes your muscles during surgery (called a muscle relaxant) affects the gas used to inflate your belly during laparoscopic surgery. It may help doctors improve how they manage anesthesia for this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (a type of minimally invasive surgery using a robot).
- Your surgery must be performed by one of two specific surgeons who have very similar techniques.

This study compares two different gas pressure levels used during robotic surgery to see if one is better for patients. If you are having robotic surgery, it may help doctors improve safety and 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 study is testing how the depth of muscle relaxation during anesthesia affects your breathing during and after open abdominal surgery. The goal is to find the best approach to reduce breathing complications after surgery.
This trial tests whether a medication that relaxes muscles (called a neuromuscular blocker) improves breathing help during surgery when a type of airway tube is used. It aims to see if it helps patients breathe better while under anesthesia.
This study compares a low-pressure way of filling the abdomen with gas during certain colon surgeries. It aims to see whether this helps the bowel “wake up” faster after surgery (less postoperative ileus).
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.
