Trial summary

This trial aims to compare the incidence of postoperative residual curarisation (PORC) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in the SUG and NEO group by means of diaphragm ultrasonography and LUS, so as to conclude whether SUG can outperform NEO in preventing occurrence of PORC and PPCs.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Neostigmine and Sugammadex on Postoperative Residual Curarization and Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Detected by Diaphragm and Lung Ultrasonography: A Study Protocol for Prospective Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

This trial aims to compare the incidence of postoperative residual curarisation (PORC) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in the SUG and NEO group by means of diaphragm ultrasonography and LUS, so as to conclude whether SUG can outperform NEO in preventing occurrence of PORC and PPCs.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of postoperative residual curarisation (PORC) is about 2%-64% worldwide, which may be an underling risk factor of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), causing many undesirable effects on patients. Thus, reversal drugs of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) such as neostigmine (NEO) and sugammadex (SUG) have been administrated, and SUG maybe perform better in preventing PORC. Different supplementary methods to help identify PORC or PPCs have also been reported, such as adductor of pollicis acceleromyography and lung ultrasound (LUS). Recently, diaphragm ultrasonography has been used to evaluate PORC, as a novel approach.In this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we will enroll 414 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III, aged over 60 years, who will be scheduled to undergo arthroplasty surgery under general anesthesia. Participants will be randomized into NEO and SUG group receiving neostigmine and sugammadex as reversal drug respectively. The primary outcomes will be the incidence of PPCs in NEO and SUG group respectively. The secondary outcome is the incidence of PORC in the two groups.We hypothesize that: 1) the incidence of PPCs is lower after reversal with SUG than with NEO, 2) using the method of diaphragm ultrasonography, the incidence PORC is lower after reversal with SUG than with NEO, 3) the incidence of PPCs can be predicted by LUS and by evaluating whether there is PORC through diaphragmatic ultrasound.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sugammadex as reversal drugs in people with Postoperative Pulmonary Complications, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

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 5 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 10 Sep 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact CHEN YING (+8619801103037, ddlondon@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (time frame: 30 days after 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 NCT05040490, 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 10 Sep 2021.
