First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at 100 adults having gastrointestinal cancer surgery to see if sarcopenia (muscle loss) changes how muscle relaxants work during anesthesia. Researchers used CT scans to group patients as sarcopenic or not, then measured how fast the drugs worked and how long they lasted. The goal is to help doctors give safer, more personalized anesthesia for cancer patients with muscle loss.
