Impact of Deep Neuromuscular Block on Recovery After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Effect of Deep Neuromuscular Block on the Quality of Recovery After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Not applicable Interventional Anqing Municipal Hospital · NCT06469866

This study tests if using a deeper level of muscle relaxation during laparoscopic hysterectomy helps women recover better compared to a moderate level of relaxation.

What this trial studies

This study investigates whether deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) improves recovery quality after laparoscopic hysterectomy compared to moderate NMB. Seventy-two women undergoing elective laparoscopic hysterectomy are randomly assigned to receive either low-pressure pneumoperitoneum with deep NMB or standard-pressure pneumoperitoneum with moderate NMB. The primary outcome measured is the quality of recovery one day post-surgery, while secondary outcomes include postoperative pain levels, surgical conditions, and other recovery metrics.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are women scheduled for elective laparoscopic hysterectomy with an ASA physical status of I to III.

Not a fit: Patients with a BMI over 35, renal or hepatic insufficiency, or neuromuscular diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance recovery quality and reduce postoperative pain for patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have suggested that deep neuromuscular blockade may improve surgical conditions and postoperative outcomes, indicating potential success for this approach.
