Postoperative Residual Paralysis After Cardiac Surgery

NCT03291184 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 93

Summary

The main objective of this study is to describe the incidence of postoperative residual paralysis (mean train-of-four \<90%) when weaning from the ventilator in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after elective cardiac surgery. Train-of-four monitoring is a widely used term for the peripheral nerve stimulation used in neuromuscular blockade monitoring. When the patient is ready for weaning from the ventilator, an ICU doctor will perform a measurement of the train-of-four at the thumb with a neuromuscular transmission monitor. Every value below 90% will be considered as residual paralysis and treated appropriately by means of a reversal agent.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Residual Curarization

Interventions

DEVICE

peripheral neuromuscular monitor

Residual paralysis can only be measured by neuromuscular transmission monitoring of a peripheral nerve, typically the ulnar nerve innervating the adductor pollicis muscle.
