Studying muscle relaxant recovery with a new device
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having surgery with general anesthesia that requires a muscle relaxant called rocuronium.
- You should not have a nerve or muscle disease that is getting worse over time.
- You cannot have severe swelling (edema) in your body.
- You must be in good enough health for surgery (classified as ASA 1 to 4).

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 monitor that checks how well the nerves and muscles communicate in babies and older patients during surgery. It is painless and helps anesthesiologists ensure safe dosing of muscle relaxants when needed.
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 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.
