Comparing muscle monitoring methods in obesity surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of monitoring muscle relaxation during anesthesia for people with obesity having weight-loss surgery. The goal is to see which method works better and may help improve safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.

- You are scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery under general anesthesia.
- You do not have severe lung, heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- You are not allergic to the anesthesia drugs used in this study.

This study compares how anesthetic medications behave in the bodies of people with normal weight versus overweight or obese patients undergoing surgery. Understanding these differences may help doctors choose safer anesthesia doses for each patient.
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery: one guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and the other by standard care. The goal is to see which one helps your lungs work better during and after surgery.
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 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 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.
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.
