Effect of Neuromuscular Blockade on Pulmonary Complications in Elective Cardiac Surgery

NCT02635542 ↗

Phase 4 Completed 100 enrolled University of Chicago
RandomizedParallel-groupTriple-blindPrevention

Summary

The investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized trial to assess the impact of neuromuscular blockade on early (\<72 hours post-ICU admission) postoperative respiratory complications in cardiac surgical patients. The study will compare continual neuromuscular blockade with cisatracurium to a single dose of succinylcholine during general anesthesia for cardiac surgery.
