About this study

Official title: No Need for Neuromuscular Blockade in Day Case Standardised Laparoscopic Surgery. A Consecutive Retrospective Study

This study analyse the need for neuromuscular blockade in consecutive routine laparoscopic procedures without standard use of neuromuscular blockade in an ambulatory laparoscopic surgery setting and analyse specific reasons for using neuromuscular blockade in individual patients. Furthermore, the study report the analgesic use in postoperative care unit and the discharge rate.

Read the detailed description

The study is retrospective, including consecutive patients in an unrestricted referral of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, umbilical and inguinal hernia repair. Inclusion period was from 01.04.2013 to 31.03.2015. All patients received general anesthesia using propofol (2 mg/kg) and remifentanil (1 μg/kg/min) for induction. In patients where tracheal intubation was required, this was done without use of neuromuscular blocking drug; otherwise a proseal laryngeal mask was used. For the maintenance of anesthesia, additional continuous infusion of propofol (3-5 mg/kg/h) and remifentanil (0.3-0.5 μg/kg/min) was used. Data were derived from a prospective local database on demographics, anesthetic methods and supplements (i.e. need for neuromuscular blockade) and postoperative needs for supplementary analgesics besides the postoperative standard analgesic regimen, number of hours stayed in the ambulatory surgery department, and discharge rate (including reasons for hospital admittance).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients requiring neuromuscular blockade

    Data derived from a prospective local database on need for neuromuscular blockade in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, umbilical and inguinal hernia repair.

    Measured: At time of surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Analgesic use in postoperative care unit

    Amount of opioids administered to the patients in the postoperative care unit

    Measured: Within 6 hours after surgery

  2. Hours stayed in the postoperative care unit

    Measured: 1 to 6 hours after surgery

  3. Maximum Visual analog score (VAS) for pain in the postoperative Care unit

    Measured: 1 to 6 hours after surgery

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 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 29 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of patients requiring neuromuscular blockade (time frame: At time of surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02782832, which also lists 10 linked publications.

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 29 May 2018.
