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 develop a predictive model for the Train-of-Four (TOF) ratio during anesthesia by analyzing neuromuscular monitoring data. It focuses on adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery who receive general anesthesia with the neuromuscular blocking agent Rocuronium. The study utilizes electrical stimuli applied to the ulnar nerve to measure the motor response of the thumb, which is then analyzed to determine the effectiveness of neuromuscular blockade. The goal is to enhance the evidence-based use of neuromuscular blocking agents in clinical practice.
