Effect of a muscle relaxant on sore throat after using a video laryngeal mask in surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines how administering rocuronium, a muscle relaxant, before using a video laryngeal mask affects postoperative sore throat in procedures longer than one hour. It also looks at whether rocuronium influences middle ear pressure, oropharyngeal leak pressure, and other airway-related factors. Participants are adults with BMI over 30 undergoing surgery with VLMAs for at least 60 minutes. Data will be collected at the end of surgery and during the immediate postoperative period to compare outcomes with and without the muscle relaxant, within the specified eligibility criteria.
