Influence of Neostigmine vs. Sugammadex on PORC and PPCs by Ultrasonography

September 3, 2021 updated by: Jie YI, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Comparison of the Effects of Neostigmine and Sugammadex on Postoperative Residual Curarization and Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Detected by Diaphragm and Lung Ultrasonography: A Study Protocol for Prospective Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

This trial aims to compare the incidence of postoperative residual curarisation (PORC) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in the SUG and NEO group by means of diaphragm ultrasonography and LUS, so as to conclude whether SUG can outperform NEO in preventing occurrence of PORC and PPCs.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The incidence of postoperative residual curarisation (PORC) is about 2%-64% worldwide, which may be an underling risk factor of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), causing many undesirable effects on patients. Thus, reversal drugs of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) such as neostigmine (NEO) and sugammadex (SUG) have been administrated, and SUG maybe perform better in preventing PORC. Different supplementary methods to help identify PORC or PPCs have also been reported, such as adductor of pollicis acceleromyography and lung ultrasound (LUS). Recently, diaphragm ultrasonography has been used to evaluate PORC, as a novel approach.In this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we will enroll 414 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III, aged over 60 years, who will be scheduled to undergo arthroplasty surgery under general anesthesia. Participants will be randomized into NEO and SUG group receiving neostigmine and sugammadex as reversal drug respectively. The primary outcomes will be the incidence of PPCs in NEO and SUG group respectively. The secondary outcome is the incidence of PORC in the two groups.We hypothesize that: 1) the incidence of PPCs is lower after reversal with SUG than with NEO, 2) using the method of diaphragm ultrasonography, the incidence PORC is lower after reversal with SUG than with NEO, 3) the incidence of PPCs can be predicted by LUS and by evaluating whether there is PORC through diaphragmatic ultrasound.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Study Contact

The name and contact information for the person who can answer enrollment questions for a clinical study. Each location where the study is being conducted may also have a specific contact, who may be better able to answer those questions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
