Conditions

Curarization, Postoperative Residual, PONV, Postoperative Pain Of Laparoscopic Surgery

Keywords

deep neuromuscular blockade, sugammadex, postoperative pain, laparoscopic hysterectomy

Brief summary

The primary outcome of this study is to investigate whether deep NMB reversed with Sugammadex is superior to moderate NMB reversed with Neostigmine, in terms of overall pain in the first 48 hrs after laparoscopic hysterectomy, reversal time from NMB (TOF≥0.9) and direct and indirect costs. Additionally we will also assess: drugs consumption for pain and antiemetics (rescue dose), surgical conditions, hemodynamic and respiratory stability, operation time, anesthesia time, total amount and flow rate of CO2, insufflation time, resolution of post-operative ileus, dry mouth and PONV in the first 48 hours, patient satisfaction.
