About this study

Official title: Effect of Pre-treatment With Magnesium Sulfate on the Duration of Deep Neuromuscular Blockade With Rocuronium: Random and Double-blind Clinical Study

It is a prospective, comparative, randomized, double-blind clinical trial whose hypothesis is that pre-treatment with magnesium sulfate, due to its action at the neuromuscular junction,potentiate the duration of deep neuromuscular block following rocuronium curarization in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Magnesium sulphate has gained prominence as an adjuvant drug in anesthesia. Its use is associated with potentiation of neuromuscular blockade among other functions.

The deep neuromuscular block is defined as the one obtained by the absence of response to the sequence of four Stimuli and the presence of one or more simple stimuli in post-tetanic counts . There is no literature description of the role of magnesium sulphate in Duration of the deep neuromuscular block obtained after the muscle relaxation of patients with rocuronium This study is justified because extending the clinical duration of neuromuscular blockers may translate into gains for surgeries that require deep and long-lasting muscle relaxation as in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. This block allows lower inflation pressures of the pneumoperitoneum to be obtained, as a result, there is a lower inflammatory and cardiorespiratory repercussion for the patient

Read the detailed description

Patients will be selected from those who use the General Surgery Service of the Federal Hospital of Bonsucesso for medical indication or own will, obeying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After signing the informed consent, they will be evaluated clinically and laboratorially, according to the routine of preoperative exams and pre-anesthetic outpatient evaluation. Patients will be allocated to one of two groups: control group (30 patients), who will receive pretreatment by venous infusion of saline solution; And magnesium group (30 patients) who will receive pretreatment by intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate 60 mg / kg according to the random number sequence generated electronically through the QuickCalcs program (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA) Because it is a double-blind study, both the researcher and the patient will not know which of the groups will be studied.

The principal investigator will be responsible for the delivery of sealed envelope containing the sequence of cases allocated in each of the groups to another anesthesiologist who will prepare the solution (saline or magnesium sulphate) and will record in a specific file in which group the volunteer was Allocated. Again the envelope will be sealed for tabulation later, without the knowledge of the researcher. The same principal investigator will be in charge of the measurement and recording of the data collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. duration of deep neuromuscular block

    To determine the duration of deep neuromuscular block following a single dose of rocuronium

    Measured: perioperative

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. onset time and recovery time of rocuronium

    to determine the pharmacodynamic parameters of rocuronium

    Measured: perioperative- until 48h

  2. residual neuromuscular block in PACU

    Evaluate the eventual occurrence of residual neuromuscular block in PACU

    Measured: 6h

  3. evolution of the height of T1

    Record the evolution of the height of T1

    Measured: perioperative- until 48h

  4. postoperative pain

    Evaluate postoperative pain with questionnaire and visual scale of pain

    Measured: perioperative- until 48h

  5. episodes of nausea and vomiting and treatment of surgery to discharge

    Assess the frequency of individual episodes of nausea and vomiting and treatment during the period from the end of surgery to discharge

    Measured: perioperative- until 48h

  6. frequency of pain or unpleasant sensation

    Evaluate frequency of pain or unpleasant sensation during the infusion of the studied solutions

    Measured: perioperative- until 48h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sulfate, Magnesium and saline group in people with Magnesium Sulfate and Neuromuscular Blockade, run by Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 9 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 12 Dec 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 Brazil. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Angelo Jorge Q R Micuci, doctor anesthesiology (21997828668 ext. 55, angelojorgemicuci@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

duration of deep neuromuscular block (time frame: perioperative). 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 NCT02989272, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Dec 2016.
