Trial Outcomes & Findings for Neuromuscular Blockade During Transurethral Resection of Bladder Cancer (NCT NCT03039543)

NCT ID: NCT03039543

Last Updated: 2018-05-22

Results Overview

5-point surgical condition scale was evaluated as follows. 1. Extremely poor * unable to work because of coughing or because of the inability to obtain a endoscopic view because of inadequate muscle relaxation. Additional neuromuscular blocking agents (NMB) must be given. 2. Poor * severely hampered by inadequate muscle relaxation with continuous muscle contractions, movements, or both with the hazard of tissue damage. Additional NMB is needed. 3. Acceptable * a wide endoscopic view but bladder contractions, movements, or both occur regularly causing some interference with the surgeon's work. There is the need for additional NMB to prevent deterioration. 4. Good * a wide endoscopic working field with sporadic muscle contractions, movements, or both. No immediate need for additional NMB unless there is the fear of deterioration. 5. Optimal * a wide endoscopic working field without any movement or contractions. No additional NMB is needed.

Moderate Neuromuscular Blockade
During operation, intravenous rocuronium was used to maintain moderate (TOF count of 1 or 2). Patients in moderate neuromuscular blockade are reversed with 2 mg/kg sugammadex at a TOF count of 1 or 2. Rocuronium: Intravenous rocuronium was used to maintain moderate (TOF count of 1 or 2) neuromuscular blockade for patients with moderate neuromuscular blockade whereas intravenous rocuronium was used to maintain deep (TOF count of 0 with post-tetanic count of 2) neuromuscular blockade for patients with deep neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex: Patients in moderate neuromuscular blockade are reversed with 2 mg/kg sugammadex at a TOF count of 1 or 2 and patients in the deep neuromuscular blockade are reversed with 4 mg/kg sugammadex at post-tetanic count of 2.
Deep Neuromuscular Blockade
During operation, intravenous rocuronium was used to maintain deep (TOF count of 0 with post-tetanic count of 2) neuromuscular blockade. Patients in the deep neuromuscular blockade are reversed with 4 mg/kg sugammadex at post-tetanic count of 2. Rocuronium: Intravenous rocuronium was used to maintain moderate (TOF count of 1 or 2) neuromuscular blockade for patients with moderate neuromuscular blockade whereas intravenous rocuronium was used to maintain deep (TOF count of 0 with post-tetanic count of 2) neuromuscular blockade for patients with deep neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex: Patients in moderate neuromuscular blockade are reversed with 2 mg/kg sugammadex at a TOF count of 1 or 2 and patients in the deep neuromuscular blockade are reversed with 4 mg/kg sugammadex at post-tetanic count of 2.
