About this study

Official title: The Effect of Deep Neuromuscular Blockade on Requirement of Intravenous Anesthetic Agent During Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

Recently, deep neuromuscular blockade during general anesthesia has been studied by many authors regarding various effects upon patients' outcomes and surgical conditions. We believe deep neuromuscular blockade can be especially beneficial in laparoscopic surgery, because it can expand surgical space and prevent patients' minute movements that can disturb precise operations. In clinical situations, anesthetists tend to compensate the insufficiency of neuromuscular blockade by increasing the dose of other anesthetic agents, which can prolong patients' recovery time and impair the surgical condition. In this study, we plan to divide the patients into 2 groups according to the depth of neuromuscular blockade, and compare the dose of anesthetic agent used to maintain surgical condition.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery are going to be recruited and divided into 2 groups: Group D will receive deep neuromuscular blockade, and Group M will receive moderate neuromuscular blockade using continuous infusion of rocuronium. Acceleromyography(TOF-watch SX) will be used to monitor the depth of blockade. In both groups, the anesthesia will be maintained with TIVA(total intra-venous anesthesia) including continuous target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil. During the surgery, the number of patient movement and restoration of self respiration will be recorded. At the end of anesthesia, the dose of propofol and remifentanil used will be assessed and compared between the groups. Also, the satisfaction score of surgeons regarding the surgical condition, the anesthesia time, the operation time will be documented. After the patients are discharged, their charts are going to be reviewed and whether any pulmonary or surgical complications occurred will be documented.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dosage of propofol

    the amount of propofol used (mg/kg)

    Measured: intraoperative (from starting of anesthesia to end of anesthesia)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Dosage of remifentanil

    the amount of remifentanil used (mcg/kg)

    Measured: intraoperative (from starting of anesthesia to end of anesthesia)

  2. Patient movement

    the observed number of patient movement during the surgery

    Measured: intraoperative (from tracheal intubation to injection of neuromuscular reversal agent)

  3. Patient self respiration

    the observed number of restoration of self breathing during the surgery (ex. EtCO2 notching)

    Measured: intraoperative (from tracheal intubation to injection of neuromuscular reversal agent)

  4. Surgical condition score

    the 5-point satisfaction score of surgeon regarding surgical conditions

    Measured: assessed at the end of the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rocuronium: PTC(Post-tetanic count) 1~2 and Rocuronium: TOF(Train-of-four) 1~2 in people with Laparoscopy and General Anesthesia, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 30 Jun 2020. 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 South Korea. 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.

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?

Dosage of propofol (time frame: intraoperative (from starting of anesthesia to end of anesthesia)). 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 NCT03890406, 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 30 Jun 2020.
