Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Total score on the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire

    The QoR-40 is a validated assessment tool for measuring a patient's self-assessed quality of recovery after surgery. It consists of 40 questions measuring 5 dimensions: patient support, comfort, emotions, physical independence and pain. Each item is rated on a scale of 1 to 5, giving a minimal score of 40 and a maximum score of 200.

    24 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Total score on the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire

    Day 3 and day 7 after surgery

  • McGill pain Questionnaire

    Upon admission and 3 months after surgery

  • RAND-36 general health questionnaire

    Upon admission and 3 months after surgery

  • Pain scores

    1, 8, 24, and 72 hours after surgery

  • Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

    1, 8, 24 and 72 hours after surgery

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Low pressure PNP, deep NMB

EXPERIMENTAL

Low pressure pneumoperitoneum of 8 mmHg with deep neuromuscular block (post tetanic count of 1-2) reached by titration with continuous infusion of Rocuronium bromide.

Procedure: Low pressure pneumoperitoneumDrug: Rocuronium Bromide

Normal pressure PNP, moderate NMB

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Normal pressure pneumoperitoneum of 12 mmHg with moderate neuromuscular block (TOF count of 1-2) reached by titration with bolus or continuous infusion of a low dose of Rocuronium bromide.

Drug: Rocuronium Bromide
