NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKADE

This study tested a new drug called HRS-9190 against a standard muscle relaxant (rocuronium) in 103 adults having surgery. The goal was to see how quickly muscles recover after the last dose. Researchers also checked for side effects. The drug is meant to keep muscles relaxed dur…

This study tested a new medicine called HRS-9190 in 70 adults having planned surgery. The medicine is a muscle relaxant given during anesthesia to help doctors place a breathing tube more easily. Researchers compared it to a standard drug to see if it works as well and is safe. T…

This study tested five different low doses of sugammadex (a drug that reverses muscle relaxants) in 46 adults who still had muscle weakness after the standard reversal drug neostigmine. The goal was to see how quickly each dose restored normal muscle function. If a lower dose wor…

This study looked at whether calibrating a muscle monitor (EMG) improves how accurately it measures muscle function during anesthesia. 66 adults having surgery took part. The goal was to see if calibration is needed for reliable readings and to find the minimum anesthesia depth r…

This study looked at 100 adults having gastrointestinal cancer surgery to see if sarcopenia (muscle loss) changes how muscle relaxants work during anesthesia. Patients were grouped based on CT scans showing sarcopenia. The researchers measured how fast the relaxants worked, how d…

This study observed over 6,400 adults undergoing elective surgery to see how doctors prescribe sugammadex, a drug that reverses muscle paralysis from anesthesia. Researchers collected data from routine care, without extra tests or treatments. The goal was to understand prescripti…

This completed study of 31 gynecological surgery patients tested whether AI analysis of preoperative CT scans could predict the correct dose of muscle relaxant (neuromuscular blocking agent). The idea is that people with more muscle mass need a higher dose, but current dosing bas…

This study looked at why experienced anesthesiologists sometimes make decisions that go against best practices when managing muscle relaxation at the end of surgery. Researchers interviewed 154 anesthesia providers and used clinical scenarios to understand their thought processes…

This study looked at how two different hand muscles recover from muscle relaxants given during surgery. In 57 patients, researchers used EMG monitors to compare recovery in the thumb muscle versus the pinky muscle. The goal was to see if one muscle gives a better signal for when …

This study tested a new Android app designed to measure how relaxed a patient's muscles are during surgery. Researchers compared the app's readings to those from standard medical monitors in 22 adults undergoing elective procedures. The goal was to see if the app could accurately…
