NCT ID NCT06945341

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study brings together small groups of anesthesiologists from different European countries to discuss what would encourage them to use neuromuscular monitoring more often. Neuromuscular monitoring tracks how well muscle relaxants are wearing off after surgery, which can help prevent breathing problems. The goal is to understand the barriers and motivators in different healthcare settings.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify practical ways to increase use of neuromuscular monitoring, potentially reducing anesthesia-related complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, suspended focus-group study with only 16 participants, so findings may not apply broadly. It explores opinions, not clinical outcomes.
