Checking for leftover muscle relaxant after surgery
This study checks patients in the recovery room for any remaining effects of muscle relaxants used during surgery. It aims to see how common this is and how it affects recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You are having planned (not emergency) surgery with general anesthesia.
- You will receive a muscle relaxant during surgery.
- You do not have a muscle or nerve disease.
- You are not expected to need a breathing tube after surgery.

This trial tests if different levels of muscle relaxation during abdominal surgery affect lung function and breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients who are having open abdominal surgery under general anesthesia lasting over an hour.
This study looks at whether the effects of muscle relaxants given during surgery still affect patients after they wake up, and if that leads to any complications. It may help doctors improve care for people who have general anesthesia with muscle relaxants.
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 checks how well a risk score predicts muscle weakness after surgery. It uses a monitor to measure muscle recovery in the recovery room. If you are having elective surgery with muscle relaxants, this trial may help improve safety.
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.
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.
