Conditions

Neostigmine, Obesity, Residual Neuromuscular Blockade

Brief summary

Obesity in the world represents a growing share of the general population. At hospital, the management of these patients could be problematic especially when calculating the drug dosage. According to the French guidelines, neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, should be used to reverse a residual neuromuscular blockade at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg of total body weight in non-obese patients. In morbidly-obese patients, with the modification of the fat/lean mass ratio, the optimal dose of neostigmine is non-consensual. To calculate the dose of neostigmine, some anesthesiologists use the total body weight, others use the ideal body weight and others use the adjusted body weight. Due to this practice variability, It may be useful to observe the mean time to recovery of neuromuscular blockade and side effects after pharmacological reversal according to the dosage of neostigmine.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare the mean delay to recovery of neuromuscular blockade after pharmacological reversal according to the dosage of neostigmine administered to the patient (on TBW, IBW or ABWFew minutes after injection of neostigmineDelay between the injection of neostigmine T0 and obtain a ratio between the 4th and the 1st response (T4/T1) by Four-Train Stimulator (TOF) ≥ 0.9

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Compare the frequence of side effects according to the dosage of neostigmine administered (on TBW, IBW or ABW)Within one hour after the injection of neostigmineOccurrence of bradycardia defined by a heart rate \<50 beats per minute in the hour following the injection of neostigmine Occurrence of bronchospasm defined by a desaturation over 92% and sibilants to the auscultation within one hour after neostigmine injection.
