The Impact Of Electromyography Vs Acceleromyography On The Management Of Neuromuscular Block During Robotic And Laparoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare the mean cumulative weight-based/time-corrected rocuronium dose administered in patients undergoing robotic- or laparoscopic- assisted surgery using either acceleromyography or electromyography.

Inclusion Criteria

• Age > or = 18 years old
• Patients willing to participate and provide an integrated, informed consent
• Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic- or robotic-assisted surgical procedures
• Anticipated surgery duration < 300 minutes Exclusion Criteria
• Patients with disorders, such as stroke, carpal tunnel syndrome, broken wrist with nerve damage, Dupuytren contracture, or any similar wrist injury.
• Patients with systemic neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis.
• Patients having surgery that would involve prepping the arm into the sterile field.
• Patients with chronic kidney disease (eGFR <60).
