About this study

Official title: Observational Study of the Pharmacological Reversal of the Residual Neuromuscular Blockade in Bariatric Surgery

Obesity in the world represents a growing share of the general population. At hospital, the management of these patients could be problematic especially when calculating the drug dosage.

According to the French guidelines, neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, should be used to reverse a residual neuromuscular blockade at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg of total body weight in non-obese patients. In morbidly-obese patients, with the modification of the fat/lean mass ratio, the optimal dose of neostigmine is non-consensual. To calculate the dose of neostigmine, some anesthesiologists use the total body weight, others use the ideal body weight and others use the adjusted body weight.

Due to this practice variability, It may be useful to observe the mean time to recovery of neuromuscular blockade and side effects after pharmacological reversal according to the dosage of neostigmine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the mean delay to recovery of neuromuscular blockade after pharmacological reversal according to the dosage of neostigmine administered to the patient (on TBW, IBW or ABW

    Delay between the injection of neostigmine T0 and obtain a ratio between the 4th and the 1st response (T4/T1) by "Four-Train Stimulator" (TOF) ≥ 0.9

    Measured: Few minutes after injection of neostigmine

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare the frequence of side effects according to the dosage of neostigmine administered (on TBW, IBW or ABW)

    Occurrence of bradycardia defined by a heart rate <50 beats per minute in the hour following the injection of neostigmine Occurrence of bronchospasm defined by a desaturation over 92% and sibilants to the auscultation within one hour after neostigmine injection.

    Measured: Within one hour after the injection of neostigmine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Neostigmine, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 Jul 2023. 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 France. 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?

Compare the mean delay to recovery of neuromuscular blockade after pharmacological reversal according to the dosage of neostigmine administered to the patient (on TBW, IBW or ABW (time frame: Few minutes after injection of neostigmine). 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 Jul 2023.
