NCT05784610

Brief Summary

Neuromuscular blockade (NMB) recommendations updated in 2018 by the Société Française d'Anesthésie et Réanimation (SFAR) recommend the use of NMB agents to facilitate surgical procedure during abdominal surgery by laparotomy or laparoscopy. This study aims to evaluate deep NMB monitoring with automated management of NMB depth measurement (ATP mode) versus non-automated monitoring (PTC/TOF), in order to improve the maintenance of deep NMB during abdominal surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluate the monitoring of deep NMB by automated management of the measurement of depth NMB (ATP mode) compared to non-automated monitoring (PTC/TOF) in order to improve the maintenance of deep NMB during abdominal surgery

    Percentage of time spent on deep NMB target during anesthesia, defined by PTC ≥ 1 and ≤ 5 responses

    From intubation to surgical closure

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Number of interventions by the anesthesia team to maintain deep curarization

    From intubation to surgical closure

  • Amount of NMB agents administered

    From intubation to surgical closure

  • Need to reverse NMB agents at the end of the procedure

    From intubation to surgical closure

  • Effect of maintaining deep NMB at surgical level during the procedure

    From intubation to surgical closure

  • Surgical conditions on the Leiden Surgical Rating Scale score

    From intubation to surgical closure

Study Arms (2)

TOF/PTC

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Non-automated neuromuscular blockade monitoring (TOF/PTC). As the NMB monitoring is depending on anesthesiologist usual practice and so only TOF measure is systematic, it is necessary to include a blind anesthesiologist measurement with the ATP mode in order to compare with data obtained during Time 2.

Device: Monitorage by TOF/PTCDevice: Monitorage by ATP

ATP

EXPERIMENTAL

Automated neuromuscular blockade monitoring (ATP). TOF and PTC stimulations are regularly performed, and PTC is systematically performed if TOF = 0/4. If PTC = 10/10, a TOF stimulation is automatically performed.

Device: Monitorage by ATP

Interventions

Installation of TOFscan® and monitoring by MAR appreciation on one of the patient's wrists and installation of TOFscan® and monitoring by ATP mode (MAR blind) on the other wrist Installation of TOFscan® and monitoring by ATP mode

Also known as: Installation of TOFscan®
TOF/PTC

You may qualify if:

  • Patients will be included if they meet all the following criteria :
