Active clinical trials for "Delayed Emergence from Anesthesia"

The introduction of the laparoscopic technique for cholecystectomy significantly reduced the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain, with improvement in other markers, such as patient satisfaction, and reduction in hospital stay. However, pain in the postoperative period of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still a concern that challenges modern anesthesiology. Ketamine and magnesium sulfate are two blockers of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors with the ability to reduce postoperative pain and postoperative opioid consumption. A frequent concern among anesthesiologists is the quality and time of awakening in patients receiving these medications The main objective of this trial is to compare the quality and time of awakening in patients receiving magnesium sulfate or ketamine. The secondary objective is to compare postoperative analgesia during the postoperative hospital stay. Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that patients have a faster awakening when they receive magnesium sulfate as an analgesic adjunct, when compared to patients who receive ketamine . Design: this is a prospective, controlled, covered and randomly distributed trial.

The purpose of this study is to compare two medications that reverse muscle paralysis at the end of kidney transplant surgery with the goal of reducing residual muscle weakness and insufficient respiratory function after surgery.

This study is to evaluate the recovery of diaphragm function and atelectasis after reversal of neuromuscular blockade with Neostigmine and Sugammadex using lung ultrasound and diaphragm ultrasound for children aged 2 to 7 who are scheduled for the surgical procedure under general anesthesia.

Depth of anesthesia-monitoring based on EEG changes demands knowledge about the effects of the different anesthetic medications on EEG waveforms. The investigators want to investigate the use of the raw-EEG waveform in addition to indexes (BIS) and EEG spectrogram analyses for depth of anesthesia monitoring. The investigators hypothesize that with the use of this monitoring, anaesthesia providers will be able to better individualize the dosage of anesthetic drugs, and that this will reduce the total consumption of anesthetic medication , thus reducing time to wake-up after surgery. Some studies have indicated that too deep anesthesia, confirmed by "burst-suppression" or isoelectric-EEG , is associated with increased postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). The investigators will therefore assess the patients with the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery tests in mild cognitive impairment (CANTAB-MCI) cognitive function assessment tool.

The purpose of this research is to determine the time it takes to reverse the effects of the intraoperative medication given to relax the muscles and how this period of recovery correlates with a function of the heart.

In this prospective randomized controlled study the investigators compare the sugammadex-neostigmine combination and single dose sugammadex in terms of side effects and cost for the antagonism of moderate neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium.

This study is a prospective observational study. A total 52 patients will be included in this study. We will observe the incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade in patients receiving sugammadex.

Neuromuscular monitoring is used as a standard surveillance method of neuromuscular function to ensure full recovery at the end of anaesthesia. The currently available devices properly provide respective information in adults but not in children. Furthermore, response to neuromuscular blocking agents differs between adults and children due to age-related differences in body composition, physiological function, and acetylcholine receptor density. Recently, electromyographic (EMG) technologies to monitor neuromuscular function were increasingly developed including disposables for nerve stimulation and measurement of the compound muscle action potential in children. However, it is still unclear whether the precision and reliability of these devices is superior to the currently available neuromuscular monitoring for children based on kinemyography (KMG). The ETCETERA study will test the hypothesis that neither EMG nor KMG provides inferior train-of-four readings to the respective reference method in infants and children below five years.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether modafinil use in patients with obstructive sleep apnea will improve postoperative delayed emergence after general anesthesia.

Sugammadex may prevent residual neuromuscular blockade by providing rapid reversal at the end of the operation. Our goal is to compare the half-dose use of sugammadex for reversing residual blockade after administration of neostigmine and atropine to the routine use of reversal medication.
