Residual Neuromuscular Blockade
Conditions
Keywords
Neuromuscular Blockade, Tetragraph, AMG, EMG
Brief summary
The purpose of this research is to determine the time it takes to reverse the effects of the intraoperative medication given to relax the muscles and how this period of recovery correlates with a function of the heart.
Interventions
FDA approved neuromuscular transmission monitor capable of measuring the depth of neuromuscular block in anesthetized patients who received neuromuscular blocking agents. TetraGraph uses EMG to measure the muscle action potentials that are generated in response to electrical neurostimulation via skin electrodes.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age \> or = 18 years old. * Patients willing to participate and provide an informed consent. * Patients undergoing an elective surgical procedure requiring administration of rocuronium, and the use of a pulmonary artery catheter intraoperatively.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with unilateral disorders, such as stroke, carpal tunnel syndrome, broken wrist with nerve damage, Dupuytren contracture. * Patients with systemic neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis. * Patients with significant organ dysfunction that can significantly affect pharmacokinetics of neuromuscular blocking and reversal agents, i.e., severe renal impairment or end-stage liver disease. * Patients having surgery that would involve prepping the arm or leg into the sterile field.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery Time After Administration of Sugammadex and Its Correlation to Cardiac Output Measure | Up to 1 hour postoperative | The correlation between the mean change in cardiac output measurement after reversal with sugammadex to the time it takes to recover from the rocuronium-induced blockade. The Pearson's correlation method was used to calculate the correlation coefficient. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation of Speed of Recovery From Neuromuscular Blockade and Age. | Up to 1 hour postoperative | The correlation between the mean change in the speed of recovery from neuromuscular blockade to participant's age. The Pearson's correlation method was used to calculate the correlation coefficient. |
