46 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is an active-comparator controlled study to evaluate the effect of sugammadex compared to neostigmine/glycopyrrolate for reversal of rocuronium on the incidence of urinary retention after subjects undergo elective ambulatory spine surgery.
This is a prospective randomized blinded controlled trial that will enroll 175 subjects undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass at NorthShore University HealthSystem. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes in elective and urgent cardiac surgical patients at NorthShore University HealthSystem when receiving sugammadex, a common neuromuscular blockade reversal drug given after surgery and before the breathing tube is removed vs. those patients who do not receive sugammadex (placebo) group. The Investigators will compare the following outcomes in both the sugammadex and placebo groups during patients hospital stay: # of patients who have the breathing tube removed within 6 hour of the end of surgery, time it takes to remove the breathing tube after surgery, ICU and hospital length of stay, cost of the ICU stay, time to achieve a train of four ratio of \> or equal to 0.9, whether patients develop pneumonia or not, whether they require the breathing tube to be replaced during their hospital stay and to compare the nursing perception of patients recovery within first 24 hours of their ICU stay.
This study is intended to be a single-site, prospective, randomized, controlled study that intends to enroll a total of 230 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Parkland Hospital. Patients will be randomized to receive either neostigmine or sugammadex for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. A standardized anesthetic protocol that is usual and customary for the type of operation the patient is having will be provided to the anesthesia teams of enrolled subjects. The remainder of the anesthetic care of the subject will not deviate from the standard of care. To account for protocol deviations and patient dropout, up to 250 randomization envelopes will be made and enrollment will continue until there are 230 completed enrollments.
Sugammadex is frequently used to reverse the effects of neuromuscular blocking drugs. The recommended doses are 2 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg depending upon the depth of neuromuscular blockade. Clinical studies and experience have suggested that smaller doses may be effective. The purpose of this observational study is to determine the minimal effective dose of sugammadex by administering 50 mg every 5 minutes until the train-of-four ratio is 0.9 in a cohort of cardiac surgery patients, and to determine the duration of action by measuring the train-of-four every hour for up to 6 hours following reversal.
A prospective blinded randomized clinical trial to compare time to extubation using Sugammadex versus Neostigmine/glycopyrrolate as reversal agents after use of neuromuscular blockade agents in an outpatient bronchoscopy suite.
The primary objective of this prospective study is to assess the trend of sugammadex (and its complex with rocuronium) concentration in surgical patients with routine outpatient hemodialysis. Patients with end stage renal disease who are to receive general anesthesia and muscle paralysis will have their paralysis by rocuronium reversed with sugammadex. Patients will then have blood drawn during their next three routine hemodialysis sessions to assess for the plasma concentration of sugammadex or the sugammadex-rocuronium complex over time.
Colon and rectal surgery is associated with high cost, long length of stay, high postoperative surgical site infection rate, high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and a high rate of hospital readmission. Return of bowel function is of utmost importance in avoiding patient discomfort, morbidity, and mortality after colorectal surgery. All patient having colorectal surgery receive neuromuscular paralysis, which is reversed at the end of surgery with either glycopyrrolate and neostigmine, or sugammadex. Glycopyrrolate and neostigmine both affect bowel function. Sugammadex has no effect on bowel function. The purpose of this study is to determine if a strategy of neuromuscular reversal with sugammadex, instead of glycopyrrolate and neostigmine, may increase gastric emptying after surgery and lead to less postoperative complications.
Sugammadex was approved for post-operative use in the operating room (OR) and post-anesthesia recovery unit (PACU) of our quaternary facility, Tampa General Hospital. The approval came with administrative limitations: 2mg/kg dose only and for the first year its utilization was limited as replacement for up to half of Neostigmine/Glycopyrrolate use. An MUE evaluation was completed for a retrospective chart review from March 2017 to December 2017 (10 months) to assess all cases in which patients received Sugammadex or Neostigmine. During the year of data collection, we also noted a widespread tendency to reduce the usage of narcotics. A t-test comparison of the length of stay (LOS) in the PACU revealed a highly significant difference between the LOS in PACU for both drugs. On average, patients receiving Sugammadex were discharged from the PACU 43 minutes earlier than patients who received Neostigmine/Glycopyrrolate. The patient mix in both groups was similar, but these data were obtained retrospectively by a pharmacy chart review.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the use of Sugammadex will reduce time from reversal to extubation and improve other post extubation outcomes in Coronary artery bypass grafting patients. This study is a prospective, clinical interventional, randomized single blinded single-center design. The nurses in the cardiac intensive care unit will be blinded to treatment allocation (Group 1 or 2).
This is an estimation study, prospectively evaluating the incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade (PRNB) when a best practice protocol is implemented for a cohort of abdominal surgery and orthopedic surgery patients. The protocol is developed within the constraint of subjective monitoring, quantitative monitoring is not used, and use of rocuronium for paralysis and either neostigmine or sugammadex for reversal. The primary outcome is the incidence of PRNB on arrival to the post-anesthesia care unit, defined as a train-of-four ration \<0.9.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the use of Sugammadex for reversing the neuromuscular blocking effects of rocuronium during neurointerventional procedures can speed recovery of neuromuscular function. Half of participates will receive Neostigmine with glycopyrrolate, while the other half will receive Sugammadex.
The investigators will track bariatric patients who received sugammadex versus neostigmine in the post anesthesia care unit until discharge and assess their length of stay and possible nausea / vomiting / hypoxia episodes.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate faster time to extubation after arrival in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit (ICU) in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), AVR and AVR/CABG combination who receive Sugammadex as compared to placebo.
The goal of this clinical research study is to determine whether using sugammadex, given with a standard muscle relaxation drug during bladder surgeries, improves anesthesia conditions and recovery time. During some bladder operations, your muscles must be completely relaxed. Muscle relaxation drugs cause the muscles to relax, including the respiratory muscles, and as a result artificial ventilation is needed to help you breathe. Sugammadex and other standard drugs reverse the effect of the muscle relaxation drugs, allowing you to breathe on your own after the operation. Study Groups: If you agree to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) to 1 of 2 study groups. This is done because no one knows if one study group is better, the same, or worse than the other group: * If you are in Group 1, you will receive sugammadex to reverse the muscle relaxation. * If you are in Group 2, you will receive the standard of care (neostigmine/glycopyrrolate) to reverse the muscle relaxation. You and the surgeon will not know which group you have been assigned to. However, the anesthesiologist and study staff will know. Length of Study: You will be on study for up to 1 week after the cystoscopy. If you are unable to have the procedure performed, you may be taken off study early. This is an investigational study. Sugammadex and neostigmine/glycopyrrolate are all FDA approved and commercially available to reverse muscle relaxation. The comparison of these drugs is investigational. Up to 50 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
Substantial respiratory morbidity has been associated with postoperative residual paralysis, which is fairly common after general anesthesia involving a neuromuscular blocking agent. Common practice in United States is to reverse neuromuscular blockade with neostigmine at the end of surgery. A new drug with evidence of more complete neuromuscular reversal has been developed, sugammadex. The objective of this study is to determine if a strategy of rocuronium neuromuscular reversal with sugammadex will reduce the proportion of subjects with any postoperative pulmonary complication, compared to neostigmine.
The investigators propose a single-center,assessor-Blinded, parallel group randomized trial to compare the efficacy of reversal of rocuronium induced neuromuscular blockade by sugammadex versus neostigmine in patients undergoing Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus.
The aim of the study is to determine if the usage of sugammadex would reduce the time to return of bowel function when compared to standard of care (neostigmine/glycopyrrolate) when used for neuromuscular blockade reversal in patients with open abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR).
The Investigator will perform a single-institution randomized double-blinded controlled trial comparing intraoperative Sugammadex vs. standard dose of glycopyrrolate/neostigmine combination for participants undergoing a total vaginal hysterectomy with or without pelvic organ prolapse procedures under general endotracheal anesthesia.
Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are commonly used in the practice of anesthesiology for skeletal muscle relaxation to facilitate tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, and to provide optimal surgical conditions. In order to prevent residual NMB, it is vital to adequately reverse any use of a non-depolarizing NMBA. This was historically done using an anticholinesterase such as neostigmine, which would increase the concentration of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction leading to the return of neuromuscular transmission. Unfortunately, there are disadvantages to the use of an anticholinesterase. It was in this context that sugammadex was found to be a valuable addition to the anesthesiologist's armamentarium. It is a modified γ-cyclodextrin that encapsulates the aminosteroid NMBAs rocuronium and vecuronium. This project is a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled dose-response trial that aims to determine the time taken to achieve adequate reversal comparing five doses of sugammadex as rescue therapy following inadequate reversal with neostigmine. The study team will recruit patients aged 18 years and above from the main operating room and outpatient surgery center at Grady Memorial Hospital who are undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, who has received NMB, received neostigmine for NMB reversal, and achieved a TOF count ≥ 3 twitches but not a TOF ratio of 0.9 fifteen minutes after neostigmine was given. Those with a TOF count \< 3 twitches will drop out of the study as there are already specified doses of sugammadex for that level of NMB
This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with patients assigned to neuromuscular reversal with either sugammadex or neostigmine/glycopyrrolate reversal. The study will not be blinded to the anesthesiologist to allow for appropriate decision-making on timing and dosage of reversal. This is a single-center study.
The purpose of this research is to estimate the frequency of postoperative lasting muscle weakness in patients receiving Sugammadex after undergoing liver transplant surgery by using electromyographic device (EMG), such as TetraGraph.
This study assesses the efficacy of sugammadex against neostigmine for hastening recovery from neuromuscular blockade and optimizing pulmonary function in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea presenting for outpatient surgery. Both drugs are used in anesthesiology to reverse neuromuscular blockade that is given in the setting of inducing and maintaining general anesthesia.
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 will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sugammadex (MK-8616) for reversal of both moderate and deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in pediatric participants aged birth to \<2 years. The primary hypothesis of this study is that sugammadex is superior to neostigmine in reversing moderate NMB as measured by time to neuromuscular recovery.
Patients who undergo surgery receive drugs called neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) that to block the activity of muscles. When the surgery is over, the block needs to be reversed. Suggammadex and neostigmine are examples of drugs that reverse blocks. This study aims to investigate if sugammadex is associated with a significantly reduced time to discharge from the operating room to the postoperative unit when compared to neostigmine.
The investigators propose to compare the recovery of neuromuscular blockade from rocuronium reversal by sugammadex to succinylcholine in ECT.
The purpose of this study is to learn if there is a difference in recovery time when using sugammadex versus neostigmine. The researchers also hope to add further knowledge and data to the safety of using sugammadex in burn patients who are hypermetabolic.
This trial will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of sugammadex for the reversal of both moderate and deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) induced by either rocuronium or vecuronium in pediatric participants. The primary efficacy hypothesis of this investigation is that sugammadex is superior to neostigmine in reversing moderate NMB in pediatric participants as measured by time to recovery to a train-of-four (TOF) ratio of ≥0.9.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sugammadex when administered according to actual body weight (ABW) as compared to ideal body weight (IBW) for the reversal of both moderate and deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) induced by either Rocuronium or Vecuronium in morbidly obese participants. The primary hypothesis of this investigation is that, compared to obese participants dosed based on IBW, obese participants receiving Sugammadex according to ABW will demonstrate a faster time to recovery to a Train Of Four (TOF) ratio of ≥0.9 (i.e. faster NMB reversal), pooled across NMB depth and type of neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA; Rocuronium or Vecuronium) administered.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of sugammadex for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) induced by neuromuscular blockade agents (NMBA) rocuronium or vecuronium in adult American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Class 3 and 4 participants. The primary objectives of the study are to characterize the incidence of treatment emergent sinus bradycardia, treatment emergent sinus tachycardia, or other treatment emergent cardiac arrhythmias after administration of sugammadex and to evaluate the general safety of sugammadex in a population of ASA Class 3 and 4 participants in a surgical setting.
