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.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help anesthesiologists choose the best monitoring method for obese patients, improving safety and recovery after surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small observational study (30 people) that does not test a new treatment, so its findings may not apply to all patients or change practice immediately.
