Cardiac Output and Recovery Time

January 20, 2026 updated by: J. Ross Renew, M.D., Mayo Clinic

Correlation Between Cardiac Output and Recovery Time After Reversal of Rocuronium-Induced Blockade With Sugammadex

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.

Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: TetraGraph monitoring
Subject scheduled to undergo an elective surgical procedure will have TetraGraph device lead placement on either hand at a discretion of the anesthesiologist
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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Recovery Time After Administration of Sugammadex and Its Correlation to Cardiac Output Measure
Time Frame: 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.
Up to 1 hour postoperative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation of Speed of Recovery From Neuromuscular Blockade and Age.
Time Frame: 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.
Up to 1 hour postoperative
