Recovery of Diaphragmatic Function After Neuromuscular Blockade and Sugammadex

NCT01962298

Phase 3 Completed 75 enrolled University Hospital, Antwerp
RandomizedParallel-groupTriple-blindTreatment

Summary

The effect of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA, e.g. rocuronium) on respiratory muscle activity is well known. However, since the availability of sugammadex, to our knowledge, no study has been conducted to evaluate the effect of this novel product on these muscles. Our hypothesis is that by applying a different strategy in the use of neuromuscular blocking agents and their reversal agents we might see a different activity of the respiratory muscles.
