Summary

This study aimed for Determination of the impacts of deep neuromuscular blockade (DNMB) on surgical outcomes, consumption of perioperative opioid analgesia, and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in comparison to moderate NMB (MNMB).

Conditions

  • Change in Serum Levels of the Estimated Inflammatory Cytokines
  • Total Dose of IO Fentanyl
  • PO Morphine
  • Surgeons' Rating
  • Pain Scores

Interventions

DRUG

Moderate Neuromuscular Blockade

A TOF-Watch® SX-acceleromyograph will be applied to the adductor pollicis muscle and calibrated to monitor response and degree of NMB. Anesthesia will be induced with IV propofol (1.5-2.5 mg/kg) and rocuronium bromide 0.6 mg/Kg, and the trachea will be intubated at train-of-four (TOF) 0. Anesthesia will be maintained with 50% air in oxygen and an end-tidal concentration of 2-3% sevoflurane. In the DNMB group, rocuronium infusion was used to provide 0.48-0.72 mg/kg/h to maintain PTC 0-1.

DRUG

Deep neuromuscular block

For patients in the MNMB group, rocuronium will be given as 0.2 mg/kg to maintain a post-tetanic count (PTC) of \>1, and TOF in the range of 0-2.
