Muscle relaxant effects on breathing tube use in surgery
Treatments studied
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an elective (non-emergency) surgery under general anesthesia.
- A special breathing tube will be used to help you breathe during surgery.
- Your surgery is expected to last less than 3 hours.
- You will be lying on your back during the procedure.
- You do not have any respiratory infection symptoms, limited mouth opening, or neck movement issues.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35.

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 study tests whether a low dose of a muscle relaxant called rocuronium is safe and effective during spine surgery when doctors are monitoring the nerves. This may help patients who need spine surgery with nerve monitoring.
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 tests different medications used to place a breathing tube during spine surgery. The goal is to find a way that keeps the muscles working well enough for the doctor to monitor your spinal cord during surgery.
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.
