Trial summary

Suboptimal reversal of neuromuscular blockage after surgery is possibly related to unfavorable postoperative respiratory conditions and elevated pain levels. Rapid and complete reversal of neuromuscular block was not possible untill sugammadex was discovered. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Neuromuscular Blockade Reversal With Sugammadex on Oxygenation, Pain and Arousal States in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit

Suboptimal reversal of neuromuscular blockage after surgery is possibly related to unfavorable postoperative respiratory conditions and elevated pain levels. Rapid and complete reversal of neuromuscular block was not possible untill sugammadex was discovered. The investigators hyposthesise that reversal with sugammadex leads to favorable postoperative respiratory conditions and less pain compared to reversal with neostigmine.

SugammadexExperimentalSubjects in this arm will be reversed with sugammadex 2-4 mg/kg

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Lowest Saturation

    Mean saturation is the mean value of the beat-to-beat Hb-oxygen saturation measured by finger pulse oximeter as measured in the first 45 min in the recovery room following surgery

    Measured: 45 minutes post surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain

    using the 1-10 numeric rating scale

    Measured: 45 minutes post surgery

  2. Sedation

    using the Leiden observer alertness score (1 alert - 5 sedated)

    Measured: 45 minutes post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sugammadex and Neostigmine in people with Postoperative Respiratory Condition, run by Leiden University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Lowest Saturation (time frame: 45 minutes post surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2017.
