Muscle Relax Affects Outcomes of Robotic Surgery (MORE)

October 29, 2018 updated by: Zhihong LU, Air Force Military Medical University, China

Effect of Neuromuscular Blockade Protocol on Perioperative Outcomes of Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery

During robotic laparoscopic surgery, a high intraperitoneal pressure may result in high airway pressure and inadequate perfusion of the abdominal organs, and as a result the postoperative outcomes. Degree of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) can affect the intraperitoneal pressure. In this study, the patients undergoing robotic laparoscopic surgery will be assigned to deep NMB group and moderate NMB group. Perioperative outcomes including maximal intraperitoneal pressure, maximal intraoptic pressure, quality of emergence, postoperative pain, and incidence of postoperative respiratory complication will be compared. The results of this study will provide evidence for optimizing NMB protocol of robotic laparoscopic surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
maximal airway pressure
Time Frame: from establishment of pneumoperitoneum to end of pneumoperitoneum, at an average of 3 hours
airway pressure is titrated to as low as possible as long as the end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure is lower than 40 mmHg
from establishment of pneumoperitoneum to end of pneumoperitoneum, at an average of 3 hours
minimal cerebral oxygen saturation
Time Frame: from start of surgery to end of surgery, at an average of 3.5 hours
cerebral oxygen saturation is continuously monitored during surgery
from start of surgery to end of surgery, at an average of 3.5 hours
maximal intraocular pressure
Time Frame: from start of surgery to end of surgery, at an average of 3.5 hours
intraocular pressure is monitored every 10 minutes during surgery
from start of surgery to end of surgery, at an average of 3.5 hours
number of surgeon asking for improving muscle relax
Time Frame: from start of surgery to end of surgery, at an average of 3.5 hours
when the surgeon is unsatisfied with the muscle relax, he can tell the anesthetist
from start of surgery to end of surgery, at an average of 3.5 hours
time to extubation
Time Frame: from end of sevoflurane inhalation to extubation, at an average of 20 minutes
criteria of extubation: spontaneous respiratory rate>10 per minute and end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure<45mmHg
from end of sevoflurane inhalation to extubation, at an average of 20 minutes

from admittance to post-anesthesia care unit(PACU) to discharge from PACU, at an average of 30 minutes
incidence of shoulder pain in 24 hours after surgery
Time Frame: from end of surgery to 24 hours after surgery
from end of surgery to 24 hours after surgery
incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade in the post-anesthesia care unit
Time Frame: from admittance to post-anesthesia care unit(PACU) to discharge from PACU, at an average of 30 minutes
residual neuromuscular blockade is defined as time of head-lift or limb-lift<10 seconds
from admittance to post-anesthesia care unit(PACU) to discharge from PACU, at an average of 30 minutes
visual analogue scale at 24 hours after surgery
Time Frame: end of surgery to 24 hours after surgery
the patients are asked to mark the score they feel, 0 is no pain,100 is untolerated pain
end of surgery to 24 hours after surgery
expense after surgery
Time Frame: end of the surgery to discharge,at an average of 4 days
the expense from immediately after surgery to discharge
end of the surgery to discharge,at an average of 4 days
satisfaction score of the patients
Time Frame: from end of surgery to discharge,at an average of 4 days
the patient is asked to give a score between 0 and 10, 0 means not satisfied,10 means totally satisfied.
from end of surgery to discharge,at an average of 4 days
