Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB), defined as train-of-four (TOF) ratio of less than 0.9. Moderate (TOF ratio = 0.7 but < 0.9) and severe (TOF ratio ? 0.7) PRNMB, is assessed 5 minutes to administration of cisatracurium at induction of general anesthesia, 1 minute interval after cisatracurium injection until 6 minutes and every 15 minutes in the postanesthetic care unit (PACU) until discharge.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Demographic and patient characteristics such as age, weight, sex and co-morbidities, airway obstruction, indication of surgery, anesthesia duration, time (minutes) to PACU discharge and respiratory complications during hospital admission and length of hospital admission (days) 2. Total crystalloids and colloids volume (mls), total cisatracurium (mg) and total neostigmine (mg) 3. Perioperative and PACU temperature (?) monitoring during perioperative and PACU periods 4. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitoring during perioperative and PACU periods 5. End tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring during perioperative and PACU periods 6. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure (mmHg) monitoring during perioperative and PACU periods. 7. Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring perioperative and PACU periods
