Comparing two ways to monitor muscle relaxants during surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for surgery where a breathing tube will be placed
- You will receive the muscle relaxant rocuronium during your surgery
- You do not have a pre-existing muscle or nerve disease like Myasthenia Gravis
- You do not have an implanted electronic device like a pacemaker
- You are not allergic to medical adhesive tapes

This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
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 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 a new way to check how well muscle relaxants are working in intensive care patients. It aims to make sure the monitoring is reliable, which could help doctors adjust treatment better for each patient.
This study compares two different devices that monitor how well your muscles recover from the muscle relaxant used during surgery. The goal is to see if the newer, smaller device works just as well as the standard one, which could make monitoring easier and more comfortable for you.
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.
