Study population: Qualified participants will be invited to participate in this study regardless of gender, sex, race, or religion.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients willing to participate and provide an informed consent.
  • Patients undergoing elective surgical procedures that require use of NMBA agents (rocuronium) administered intraoperatively.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with disorders, such as stroke, carpal tunnel syndrome, broken wrist with nerve damage, Dupuytren contracture, or any similar wrist injury.
  • Patients with systemic neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis.
  • Patients with significant organ dysfunction that can significantly affect pharmacokinetics of neuromuscular blocking and reversal agents; i.e., severe renal impairment or end-stage liver disease.
  • Patients having surgery that would involve prepping the arm into the sterile field.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Onset of Neuromuscular Blockade With Electromyographic and Acceleromyographic Monitoring: A Prospective, Randomized Trial

The purpose of this research is to use 2 devices to compare the difference in the amount of time it takes for each device to register complete muscle relaxation after the muscle relaxing medication is given. The comparison will be made by using electromyographic (EMG), such as TetraGraph, and acceloromyographic (AMG), such as TOFScan, monitors at the time of insertion of breathing tube.

Being tested
Train of four measurement
Keywords
neuromuscular blockade

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Train of four measurementDevice

    Use of either TetraGraph or TOFScan to measure the neuromuscular blockade

Study groups in NCT05120999
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dominant handApplication of either TetraGraph or TOFScan device on dominant hand
Receives: Device: Train of four measurement
Non-Dominant handApplication of either TetraGraph or TOFScan device on non-dominant hand
Receives: Device: Train of four measurement

What is being measured

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

  1. Time difference

    Compare time difference from neuromuscular blockade agent administration to neuromuscular blockade onset

    Measured: During the initiation of anesthesia period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intubating conditions

    Assess intubating conditions once a complete neuromuscular blockade has been achieved either by TetraGraph or TOFScan measurements

    Measured: During the initiation of anesthesia period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuromuscular Blockade, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 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 United States. 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?

Time difference (time frame: During the initiation of anesthesia period). 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 NCT05120999, 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 8 Aug 2023.
