Using muscle relaxants to improve electroporation ablation safety

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 study investigates the use of muscle relaxants during electroporation ablation (PFA) to enhance patient safety by minimizing skeletal muscle damage and assessing myocardial damage. Patients will be randomized into two groups: one receiving general anesthesia without muscle relaxants and the other with rocuronium. The study aims to improve the quality of the PFA procedure and accelerate recovery times. A total of 32 patients will participate, with a double-blind design to ensure unbiased results.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with allergies to the general anaesthetics used, genetic diseases of the neuromuscular plateau - e.g. Duchenne dystrophy, myasthenia gravis - and patients who do not gived informed consent to participate in the study will be excluded from the study.
