Residual Vocal Cords Curarization Correlation Between Clinical and Ultrasound Endpoints

NCT06283329 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Through recent studies residual curarization (RC) remains frequent but serious event, that could be easily avoided in the presence of a paraclinical monitoring and by antagonization of curares. However, conventional monitors focus only on peripheral muscles, whereas ultrasonography allows direct visualization of laryngeal muscles, particularly the vocal cords, which are directly influenced by neuromuscular blocking agents. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ultrasound mobility of the vocal cords after awakening and extubation of general anesthesia compared to their preoperative mobility and its correlation with clinical and paraclinical diagnostic criteria (DG) for RC.

Conditions

  • Residual Curarization

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

vocal cords echography

Ultrasound assessments of the amplitude of the vocal cords movement were performed on a sagittal median section of the arytenoid cartilages with a 30° inclination using a Golf Head ultrasound probe at 3 different time points: before induction (T0), after extubation (T1), in recovery room 30 minutes after extubation(T2). We have defined H0, H1 and H2, the maximum course of the vocal cords measured respectively at T0, T1 and T2
