Evaluating anesthetics' effects on high-dose rocuronium during laparoscopic surgery

Effects of Sevoflurane, Desflurane or Propofol Anesthesia on High-Dose Rocuronium in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Operations

Observational Mustafa Kemal University · NCT06045559

This study tests how different anesthetics affect the muscle relaxation from a medication used during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients recover better.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates how three different anesthetics—propofol, desflurane, and sevoflurane—affect the duration of neuromuscular blockade induced by high doses of rocuronium in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients are randomly assigned to one of the anesthetic groups, and their neuromuscular function is monitored using Train of Four (TOF) and bispectral index (BIS) during surgery. The study aims to determine the optimal anesthetic that enhances the effects of rocuronium while potentially reducing intra-abdominal pressure and postoperative complications. The findings could provide insights into improving surgical outcomes and patient recovery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 with an ASA classification of I-III who are undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Not a fit: Patients with rocuronium or sugammadex allergies, those with significant comorbidities, or individuals outside the age range may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved anesthesia protocols that enhance surgical conditions and reduce postoperative complications.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated that deep neuromuscular blockade can improve surgical outcomes, suggesting that this approach may yield beneficial results.
