NCT05037006

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study will be to evaluate by means of a prospective randomized clinical trial, the time required for the reversal of moderate neuromuscular blockade (NMB) (Train-of-four count = 3; TOFc 3) to Train-of-four ratio (TOFr) \> 0.9 and TOFr = 1.0 after administration of different doses of neostigmine (30, 50 and 70 mcg/kg) in patients undergoing general anesthesia with propofol or sevoflurane. In addition, the probability of NMB reversal in less than 10 minutes or 15 minutes after neostigmine administration will be registered.

Masking Details
For each patient, an opaque envelope will be prepared, sealed and numbered sequentially containing the group to which the patient will be allocated. A list of randomized computer-generated numbers (www.random.org) will be used for this purpose. No surgeon, members of the nursing team, anesthesiologist involved in anesthesia or data collection will be aware of the dose of neostigmine to be administered. The type of anesthesia (inhalation or venous) will not be covered. An anesthesiologist not involved in the study will be responsible for preparing the solution containing neostigmine and atropine (diluted with saline solution until complete 20 mL) according to the group to which each patient belongs. Syringes (20 mL) will be similar and identified only with a label with the word "reversal".
