No Need for Neuromuscular Blockade in Daycase Laparoscopic Surgery
1,245 participantsStarted 2016-05
Plain-language summary
This study analyse the need for neuromuscular blockade in consecutive routine laparoscopic procedures without standard use of neuromuscular blockade in an ambulatory laparoscopic surgery setting and analyse specific reasons for using neuromuscular blockade in individual patients. Furthermore, the study report the analgesic use in postoperative care unit and the discharge rate.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial looked at whether neuromuscular blockade — the muscle-relaxing drugs used during surgery — was actually necessary for day-case laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair; if I'm scheduled for one of these surgeries, can you tell me what the results showed and whether they might change how my anesthesia would be managed?
2Since this study is now completed, has the evidence from it influenced standard practice at this hospital, and would my surgical team consider skipping neuromuscular blocking agents for my procedure if the data supports it?
3Neuromuscular blocking drugs can sometimes cause lingering effects after surgery, including residual muscle weakness — if avoiding them is potentially an option based on this trial's findings, what would the safety trade-offs be for someone in my specific situation?
4Day-case laparoscopic surgery means going home the same day, so recovery time matters a lot — does the question of whether neuromuscular blockade is used affect how quickly I'd be able to wake up, move around, and be discharged safely?
5Are there factors in my individual health history — like my weight, lung function, or other medications — that would make me a poor candidate for the approach this trial was testing, even if the overall results were favorable?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
