About this study

Official title: Effects of Magnesium Sulfate on Onset and Duration of Low Dose Rocuronium in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

This study aims to evaluate effects of magnesium sulfate on onset and duration of low dose rocuronium, intubation condition and surgical condition in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Being tested
Magnesium Sulfate, Saline, Standard dose Rocuronium, Low dose Rocuronium

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Magnesium SulfateDrug

    Patients in each group receive Magnesium sulfate 30 mg/kg in 0.9% normal saline (total volume 100 ml) intravenously for 5 min before induction of anesthesia

  • SalineDrug

    Patients in each group receive 0.9% normal saline (total volume 100 ml) alone intravenously for 5 min before induction of anesthesia

  • Standard dose RocuroniumDrug

    0.6 mg/kg of Rocuronium given with induction of anesthesia

  • Low dose RocuroniumDrug

    0.45 mg/kg of Rocuronium given with induction of anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. The time of onset the action of Rocuronium

    by using the TOF watch nerve stimulator

    Measured: Time from injection of Rocuronium till T1 suppression more than 95% up to 10 minutes.

  2. The time at which Maximal suppression

    by using the TOF watch nerve stimulator

    Measured: Time from the injection of Rocuronium to T1 maximal suppression time (TOF=0) up to an hour.

  3. Reversal of Rocuronium

    by using the TOF watch nerve stimulator

    Measured: Time from injection of Rocuronium till reversal of T1 (TOF=25%) around an hour after induction of anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Intubation condition

    to score intubation condition on the basis of 6 items: Jaw relaxation, laryngoscopy, vocal cord position, moving of limbs, coughing \& change in heart rate.

    Measured: Within 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia

  2. Surgical condition

    to score a surgical condition according to 7 point likert scale

    Measured: During surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Magnesium Sulfate, Saline and Standard dose Rocuronium in people with Muscle Relaxation, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2016. 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 Egypt. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The time of onset the action of Rocuronium (time frame: Time from injection of Rocuronium till T1 suppression more than 95% up to 10 minutes.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Feb 2016.
