Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of depth of neuromuscular block (NMB) on global and regional (dependent versus nondependent) respiratory mechanics during laparoscopic surgery. Furthermore, we will investigate if the level of NMB influences intraoperative hemodynamic and cerebral oxygenation.

Deep Neuromuscular Block (NMB)

Muscle paralysis with rocuronium 0.6 - 1.2 mg/kg with the dose adjusted to achieve 1-2 post-tetanic counts (neuromuscular function monitor).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rocuronium

Intervention Type DRUG

Rocuronium 0.6 - 1.2 mg/kg with the dose adjusted to achieve 1-2 post-tetanic counts (Deep NMB) or 1-2 twitches in the train-on-four (Moderate NMB).

Moderate Neuromuscular block (NMB)

Muscle paralysis with rocuronium 0.6 - 1.2 mg/kg with the dose adjusted to achieve 1-2 twitches in the train-on-four (neuromuscular function monitor).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Rocuronium

Intervention Type DRUG
