The use of intravenous muscle relaxants during anaesthesia can significantly facilitate endotracheal intubation and reduce the chance of possible airway complications during intubation. Overall, muscle relaxants make anaesthesia safer. Quantitative measurement of neuromuscular block is essential when anaesthesiologists use muscle relaxants. It allows to avoid postoperative residual block complications such as upper airway obstruction, hypoxia, pharyngeal dysfunction, aspiration. Unfortunately, quantitative monitoring of neuromuscular block is not routinely used in everyday practice - and this is particularly true in the infant and child population. In adults, the relative absence of easy-to-use and reliable monitors has led to the neglect of neuromuscular monitoring. One of the monitoring techniques suitable for this purpose is electromyography. This EMG-based instrument (TetraGraph ® ) measures the action potential of the musculus adductor pollicis or the musculus abductor digiti minimi muscles. Clinical trials have shown that for quantitative monitoring of the effect of muscle relaxants, extubation is safe if the TOF ratio is 0.9. Some studies have shown that TOF ratio of 0.95 is necessary to reduce the risk of postoperative respiratory complications. In this study, investigators will use an EMG-based neuromuscular monitor, the TetraGraph ®, and an electrode specially designed for the infant and child population to measure the muscle relaxant (rocuronium) effect of infants undergoing decompressive surgery for craniosynostosis, from the time of induction until the TOF ratio of 0.9 is reached, using inhaled anaesthetic or intravenous agent to maintain anaesthesia. In adult population it has been clearly demonstrated that inhaled anaesthetics potentiate the effect of muscle relaxants during maintenance anaesthesia, whereas this effect is moderate or negligible when intravenous maintenance agents are used. There is limited literature on the efficacy of rocuronium in the infant population when anaesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane or propofol. The aim of present study is to improve postoperative patient safety in the infant population. Infants undergoing anaesthesia for elective craniosynostosis surgery are included in the study. The surgical preparation, anaesthesia of the patients, will be carried out in all aspects according to the daily routine, i.e.: All infants will receive 0.1 mg/kg midazolam i.v. for pre-medication. In the operating theatre, a peripheral vein is provided. Precordial ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure measurement, end-expiratory CO 2 , end-expiratory oxygen measurement will be performed during the surgery.
NCT04124757
Muscle relaxants are routinely applied during anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to improve surgical working conditions. Several investigations have shown that a deep neuromuscular block (NMB) improves the surgical working conditions over a moderate NMB and effectively precludes sudden deterioration of the surgical field. However, whether the improvement of surgical working conditions translates into less intra- and postoperative complications remains uncertain. Small prospective or retrospective studies shown an decrease of the incidence of intraoperative adverse events and postoperative complications after a deep NMB. There is a need to confirm these outcome data prospectively, in a large number of patients and clinics and during a variety of surgical procedures.

In operating procedure with general anesthesia muscle relaxant is usually used to increase success rate of the operation and to give better outcome. The use of reversal drugs aims to reduce the risk of post-operative complications due to muscle relaxants. Neostigmine is commonly used as a reversal drug, but its indirect mechanism of action results in a long and unpredictable recovery time. Sugammadex directly bind and inactivate rocuronium, in which resulting in a faster and predictable recovery time. However, the high price limits the use of sugammadex. This study aims to compare the effect of half dose sugammadex and neostigmine against the moderate neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does half dose sugammadex gives faster recovery time? Researchers will compare sugammadex to neostigmine to see if sugammadex gives faster recovery time. Participants will: Be given sugammadex or neostigmine as a reversal drug after the operation done
NCT02250729
The main objective of this study is to compare pholcodine exposure in patients having presented with a perianaesthetic anaphylactic reaction to a NMBA (cases) to pholcodine exposure in matched anaesthetised patients with injection of NMBA, who did not present with an anaphylactic reaction (controls). The secondary objectives of the study are: * To compare anti-pholcodine IgE, anti-ammonium IV IgE and total IgE levels between the case and control groups. * To study the concordance between exposure to pholcodine in cases and controls, by means of a patient self-questionnaire on the one hand and, on the other hand, by a computerized drug history, supplemented where relevant by the drug master file. * To study the impact of taking 1, 2 or 3 sources in account for pholcodine exposition. * To study the association between exposure to pholcodine and the presence/levels of pholcodine-specific IgE, reflecting sensitisation to pholcodine. * To study NMBA and pholcodine cross-sensitisation by testing skin reactions to pholcodine in case patients allergic to (at least) one NMBA.
NCT01213264
The intent of this observational study is to collect prospective data regarding neuromuscular monitoring practices and extubation standards (Train-Of-Four \[TOF\] value) during surgery, in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEE/EEMEA countries). Secondarily the study will observe, for which surgical procedures neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), and reversal agents to such, are used. This study is a non-interventional clinical trial, and administration of NMBAs, and respective reversal agents, (as well as all drugs used during anesthesia) will be done in accordance with routine anesthesiology practice, and labeling guidelines. Neuromuscular transmission will be monitored according to routine anesthesiology practice by means of acceleromyography. The assignment of the participant to a particular therapeutic strategy is not decided in advance by a trial protocol, but falls within current practice and the prescription of the medicine is clearly separated from the decision to include the patient in the study.
