Which muscle monitor works best for obese patients under anesthesia?
NCT ID NCT07283354
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two devices that measure muscle relaxation during anesthesia in 30 obese patients having weight-loss surgery. One device tracks thumb movement (AMG), the other measures muscle electrical signals (EMG). The goal is to see which is more accurate for guiding the reversal of muscle relaxants, potentially improving safety and recovery.
