Management of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Their Antagonism (NMBA_periop)

April 18, 2024 updated by: Erasme University Hospital

Clinical Practice Survey on the Management of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Their Antagonism During General Anesthesia

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) are commonly used in clinical practice during general anesthesia to facilitate induction, intubation and surgery. Some studies have shown that their use can be deleterious if not codified. Recent recommendations concerning their use and antagonization were published in 2023.

Research hypothesis:

Using a single-center, retrospective practice study, we aim to analyze whether the 2023 ASA and ESAIC recommendations are being implemented regarding the use of neuromuscular blocking agents.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adherence to ASA and ESAIC guidelines for the use and monitoring of neuromuscular bocking agents (%)
Time Frame: 10 hours
Train of four (TOF) ratio and TOF-count, as well as post-tetanic count (PTC) will be extracted from the electronic anesthesia record together with the type, dosage and timing of neuromuscular blocking agents. At intubation, antagonisation and extubation, the use of monitoring, the correct dose for antagonising agents (neostigmine or sugammadex) will be recorded. Concordance with current guidelines from ASA (American society of anaesthesiologists) and ESAIC (European society of anaesthesia and intensive care) will be analysed with a Chi-square test (observed versus expected). The % of adherence to the guidelines will be reported.
