Ended Therapeutic use (Phase IV) Anaesthesia to laparoscopic robotassisted surgery

A blinded randomized study of two types of reversal agents (neostigmine/glycopyrrolate 50 mikrogram/kg or sugammadex 2 mg/kg) for reversal of neuromuscular blockade in elderly patients (≥ 75 years)

EU CTIS ID: 2023-504230-21-00

What this study is testing

The aim of this study is to determine the time to TOF ≥ 0.9 after either neostigmine/glycopyrrolate 50 mikrogr/kg or sugammadex 2 mg/kg in patients with age ≥ 75 years. The hypothesis of this study is that sugammadex 2 mg/kg provides a faster time to TOF ≥ 0.9 compared to neostigmine/glycopyrrolate 50 mikrogr/kg.
