Optimizing Surgical Conditions During Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery With Deep Neuromuscular Blockade

March 27, 2015 updated by: Matias Vested Madsen, Herlev Hospital

Optimizing Surgical Conditions: Intraabdominal Distance During Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery With and Without Muscle Relaxation (The Measurement Study)

To investigate if deep neuromuscular blockade improves intraabdominal volume compared to no neuromuscular blockade in patients scheduled for gynecologic laparoscopic surgery with pneumoperitoneum 12 mmHg.

Hypothesis:

Deep neuromuscular blockade improves intraabdominal space (the distance from promontorium to skin surface, cm) compared to no neuromuscular blockade.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Deep neuromuscular block followed by no neuromuscular block

Deep neuromuscular blockade (PTC 0-1) with rocuronium 1 mg/kg followed by no neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex 8 mg/kg and placebo reversal.

Measurements of intraabdominal distance during deep neuromuscular blockade and without neuromuscular blockade

Placebo Comparator: No neuromuscular block followed by deep neuromuscular block

No neuromuscular blockade with placebo followed by deep neuromuscular blockade (PTC 0-1) with rocuronium 1 mg/kg and reversal with sugammadex 8 mg/kg.

Measurements of intraabdominal distance during no neuromuscular blockade and during deep neuromuscular blockade.
