Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the preference between the two strategies and reversal of neuromuscular blockade in obese adults to be subjected to abdominal laparoscopic surgery. This will be done by evaluating the average of the scores obtained by the VNS surgeons blinded to the drugs administered.;Secondary Objective: The main secondary objectives of the study are to compare between the two groups, (1) the time between the end of surgery and the time to extubation, (2) The time that elapses between administration of the reversal and the TOFR> 0.9;Primary end point(s): The primary objective of this study is to compare the preference between the two strategies and reversal of neuromuscular blockade in obese adults to be subjected to abdominal laparoscopic surgery. This will be done by evaluating the average of the scores obtained by the VNS surgeons blinded to the drugs administered.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Detection time will be at the end of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): (1) the time between the end of surgery and the time to extubation, (2) The time that elapses between administration of the reversal and the TOFr=0.9. Other secondary efficacy endpoints are (1) The total time of use of the operating room compared between the two groups; (2) a comparison of the time-point between the two groups in the average value of the preference of patients, collected by QoR score; (3) comparison between the groups of a "comprehensive anesthesia score" average, to be collected by the anesthetist when the patient leaves the PACU (if available) or the operating room, consisting of answers to some questions relating to the management and events occurred during the procedure; (4) comparison between groups of time to achieve a modified Aldrete score> 9 in two successive assessments prior to discharge from the PACU (if available) or from the operating room.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The detection time is between the end of surgery and discharge from the PACU operating room.
