Evaluating a tool for predicting residual neuromuscular block in surgical patients

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 aims to assess the association between a residual neuromuscular block risk prediction score (REPS) and the Train-of-Four ratio (TOFr) in surgical patients during the early postoperative phase. The TOFr will be measured at intervals of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after extubation to evaluate the predictive accuracy of REPS as a tool for identifying residual neuromuscular block. By comparing these two assessment methods, the study seeks to improve postoperative monitoring and patient safety.
