Evaluating the effects of residual neuromuscular block after 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 investigates the occurrence of residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) in patients who have undergone general anesthesia with neuromuscular blockers. It aims to assess the impact of RNMB on postoperative complications during hospital admission. By monitoring patients for one month after surgery, the study seeks to identify the prevalence of RNMB and its potential consequences on patient safety and recovery. The methodology includes the use of a train-of-four monitoring technique to evaluate neuromuscular function.
