NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKADE

This study tested a new muscle relaxant drug called HRS-9190 for use during surgery. It was compared to the standard drug rocuronium in 70 adults having elective surgery. Researchers measured how well it worked for placing breathing tubes and how quickly patients recovered muscle…

This study tested whether a new smartphone app could accurately measure how well a patient's muscles recover after receiving muscle-relaxing drugs during surgery. Researchers compared measurements from the app to those from a standard medical monitor used in operating rooms. The …

This study tested different doses of a drug called sugammadex to help patients wake up from muscle paralysis after surgery. It focused on patients who had already received the standard reversal drug (neostigmine) but were still partially paralyzed 15 minutes later. Researchers co…

This study compared how two different hand muscles recover from anesthesia drugs used during surgery. Researchers monitored 57 patients to see if the muscle at the base of the thumb recovers differently from the muscle at the base of the little finger. The goal was to gather info…

This study tested if using artificial intelligence (AI) to measure a patient's muscle and fat from a routine pre-surgery CT scan could help predict the right dose of a muscle-paralyzing drug used during anesthesia. Researchers looked at 31 women having gynecological surgery to se…

This study aimed to understand why experienced anesthesiologists make specific decisions about reversing muscle-paralyzing drugs given during surgery, especially when those decisions might not follow current best practices. Researchers surveyed and interviewed 154 active anesthes…

This study observed over 6,400 surgery patients to see how doctors use a drug called sugammadex, which helps reverse muscle paralysis from anesthesia. Researchers tracked how often the drug was given, how well it worked to restore muscle strength, and what side effects occurred. …
