NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKADE

This study tested a new drug called HRS-9190 in 70 adults having planned surgery. The drug is a muscle relaxant given to help doctors place a breathing tube more easily during anesthesia. Researchers compared HRS-9190 to a standard muscle relaxant to see if it works as well and i…

This study looked at 100 adults with gastrointestinal cancer to see if having sarcopenia (muscle loss) changes how their body responds to muscle relaxants during surgery. Researchers used CT scans to group patients as sarcopenic or not, then measured how fast and deeply the muscl…

This study looked at why experienced anesthesiologists make certain decisions about reversing muscle relaxants at the end of surgery, even when those decisions go against best evidence. Researchers used written scenarios and interviews with 154 anesthesia providers to understand …

This study observed over 6,400 adults undergoing surgery to see how doctors prescribe sugammadex, a drug that reverses muscle relaxants. Researchers tracked dosing, re-administration rates, and side effects within 24 hours. No extra tests or treatments were given—just routine car…

This study looked at 31 women having gynecological surgery to see if muscle and fat measurements from CT scans could help doctors decide the right dose of muscle relaxant. Currently, doses are based on total body weight, which can be inaccurate. The researchers used artificial in…

This study tested a new Android app designed to measure how relaxed a patient's muscles are during surgery. Researchers compared the app's readings to those from a standard medical monitor in 22 adults undergoing planned procedures. The goal was to see if the app could accurately…

This study looked at 57 people having surgery to see how two different hand muscles recover from muscle relaxants given during anesthesia. Doctors measured the time it took for each muscle to return to normal function. The goal is to help anesthesiologists better monitor when it'…

This study looked at how well different doses of sugammadex work when the usual drug, neostigmine, doesn't fully reverse muscle relaxants after surgery. 46 adults having elective surgery took part. The goal was to find the fastest dose to restore normal muscle function. Results h…
