Elderly frailty may change how muscle relaxants work during surgery
NCT ID NCT07580144
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at whether sarcopenia (muscle loss) and frailty affect how the muscle relaxant rocuronium works in older patients having surgery. Researchers will monitor 100 adults aged 65 and older to see how fast the drug takes effect and how long it lasts. The goal is to help doctors give safer anesthesia doses to frail elderly patients.
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 successful, this could help anesthesiologists adjust rocuronium doses for frail or sarcopenic elderly patients, improving safety during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures effects without testing a new drug or intervention, so direct patient benefits are limited.
