NCT03579589

Brief Summary

Patients who undergo surgery receive drugs called neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) that to block the activity of muscles. When the surgery is over, the block needs to be reversed. Suggammadex and neostigmine are examples of drugs that reverse blocks. This study aims to investigate if sugammadex is associated with a significantly reduced time to discharge from the operating room to the postoperative unit when compared to neostigmine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Sugammadex blockade reversal reduce discharge to PACU.

    Time from peritoneal closure (port sites) to anesthesia readiness for OR discharge to PACU

    1 hour

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Extubation time

    1 hour

  • TOF less than 0.9

    1 hour

  • PACU

    1 hour

Study Arms (2)

Sugammadex

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

* If spontaneous recovery has reached second twitch after TOF: 2 mg/kg * If spontaneous recovery has reached between 1-2 post-tetanic counts but no twitch responses to TOF: 4 mg/kg * When there is a clinical need to reverse NMB within 3 min of a single dose of rocuronium (1.2 mg/kg): 16 mg/kg

Drug: Sugammadex vs Neostigmine

Neostigmine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

50 µg. Kg-1 will be administered after spontaneous recovery has reached fourth twitch after TOF in accordance with our institutional standard procedures and published literature.

Drug: Sugammadex vs Neostigmine

Interventions

Patients will be randomized into either Sugammadex or Neostigmine neuromuscular blockade reversal.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects undergoing outpatient surgeries (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic hernia repair, laparoscopic appendectomy) under general anesthesia requiring rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade
  • Male or female patient 18 years and older
  • Able to consent
  • American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status of I, II, or III

You may not qualify if:

  • Special population (Pregnant, Inmate, Breastfeeding)
  • History of allergy to sugammadex or rocuronium
  • Any medication known to interfere with NMBA or sugammadex
  • Presence of any clinical condition as determined by the investigator that exclude the patient from the trial such as COPD, CKD, and neuromuscular or neurodegenerative diseases
