Muscle relaxation depth may impact breathing after surgery
NCT ID NCT07464288
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how deep muscle relaxation (using rocuronium) during abdominal surgery affects lung pressure and breathing problems after surgery. Researchers will compare deep versus moderate relaxation in 128 adults having open abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if one approach leads to fewer serious breathing issues like low oxygen or airway blockage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rocuronium
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help doctors choose the best muscle relaxation depth to reduce breathing problems after abdominal surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (128 people) that hasn't started yet. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries, and the intervention is already in common use.
