NCT01388868

Brief Summary

The maintenance of partial neuromuscular blocking during general anesthesia for neurosurgery is essential for intraoperative motor-evoked potential monitoring. However, the precise strategy of administering neuromuscular blocking agent for obtaining that goal has not been established. Therefore, the investigators tried to find the optimal initial dose of vecuronium infusion and determine the adequate goal of neuromuscular blocking as guided by neuromuscular transmission module (M-NMT Module, Datex-Ohmeda Inc, Helsinki, Finland).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Amplitude of MEP monitoring

    the value of MEP amplitude every 30 min during MEP monitoring

    every 30 min during MEP monitoring

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • latency of MEP monitoring

    every 30 min during MEP monitoring

  • Incidence of patient's spontaneous movement

    from start to end of the MEP monitoring, an expected average of 4 hours

  • Overall assessment of MEP monitoring quality

    from start to end of the MEP monitoring, an expected average of 4 hours

  • Incidence of patient's spontaneous respiration

    from start to end of the MEP monitoring, an expected average of 4 hours

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Adult Patients undergoing neurosurgery with intraoperative motor evoked potential monitoring

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who can not undergo motor evoked potential monitoring due to central or peripheral neuromuscular disease (e.g. Cerebral palsy, Myasthenia gravis, Acute spinal injury, neurologic shock)
  • Patients with hepatic or renal disease with altered metabolism of vecuronium
  • Patients with medication which influence the metabolism of vecuronium (e.g. calcium channel blocker, aminoglycoside antibiotics, Lithium, MgSO4)
