Conditions

The effect of sugammadex dose on residual neuromuscular blockade will be investigated, therefore patients suffering from various conditions undergoing surgery in general anaesthesia with muscle relaxation will be included in the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of the trial is to determine the sugammadex dose, which is suitable for slower (within 10 min.) reversal of residual pipecuronium neuromuscular block.;Primary end point(s): Complete and rapid (within 5 minutes) reversal of neuromuscular blockade (return to TOF 100% during neuromuscular monitoring) after the administration of sugammadex or the placebo drug.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Neuromuscular function is monitored right after extubation and in the next hour continuously. Further monitoring is performed on the day of the operation to assess any possible complications.;Main Objective: The main objective of the trial is to determine the smallest sugammadex dose, which is suitable for the effective, rapid (within 5 min.) and permanent reversal of residual pipecuronium neuromuscular block.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Slow (within 10 minutes) but complete reversal of neuromuscular blockade (return to TOF 100% during neuromuscular monitoring) after the administration of sugammadex or the placebo drug.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Neuromuscular function is monitored right after extubation and in the next hour continuously. Further monitoring is performed on the day of the operation to assess any possible complications.
