  Purpose

This is a multicenter, observational study in adult participants undergoing different types of elective surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia. During the first study period, there will be a cross-sectional evaluation of neuromuscular blockade level upon participant arrival at Post Anesthesia Care Units (PACUs). During the second study period, hospital discharge data from the participants will be collected. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of incomplete postoperative neuromuscular recovery from anesthesia at PACUs in Portuguese hospitals. This is a cross-sectional and retrospective study.


Condition Intervention
Neuromuscular Blockade
 Other: Neuromuscular Blocking Agent (NMBA)

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Participants With Train-of-four (TOF) Ratio <0.9 at PACU Arrival [ Time Frame: Upon arrival in the PACU ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The incidence of incomplete postoperative neuromuscular recovery from general anesthesia was assessed in study participants upon arrival in the PACU, after their respective surgical procedures were completed. Neuromuscular functioning was assessed by applying repetitive TOF electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. The TOF ratio is the ratio of the magnitude of the fourth twitch to that of the first twitch, and a ratio <0.9 indicates residual neuromuscular blockade (incomplete neuromuscular recovery).


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Participants With and Without Postoperative Residual Neuromuscular Blockade Who Received Identified Neuromuscular Blocking Agents [ Time Frame: From start of surgery through PACU arrival ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Neuromuscular blocking agents administered to participants undergoing surgical procedures were recorded. The number of participants who received atracurium, cisatracurium, rocuronium or vecuronium is presented, for participants with and without residual neuromuscular blockade.

  • Number of Participants With and Without Postoperative Residual Neuromuscular Blockade Who Received Propofol or Sevoflurane [ Time Frame: From start of surgery through PACU arrival ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Anesthetic agents administered to participants undergoing surgical procedures were recorded. The number of participants who received propofol or sevoflurane is presented, for participants with and without residual neuromuscular blockade.

  • Number of Participants With and Without Postoperative Residual Neuromuscular Blockade Who Received Neuromuscular Blockade Reversal Agents [ Time Frame: From end of surgery through PACU arrival, an expected average of 10 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Neuromuscular blockade reversal agents administered to participants undergoing surgical procedures were recorded. The number of participants who received such an agent is presented, for participants with and without residual neuromuscular blockade.

  • Number of Participants With and Without Postoperative Residual Neuromuscular Blockade With Postoperative Events [ Time Frame: From end of surgery through hospital discharge, an expected average of 6 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
P07535 study participants with a TOF ratio <0.9
Participants enrolled in the P07535 study who are included in the primary outcome measurement, which is defined as the incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade, who had a TOF ratio <0.9 at PACU arrival.
 Other: Neuromuscular Blocking Agent (NMBA)
While neuromuscular blockade drug(s) are involved in this study prior to actual study initiation (this is an observational study), it should be noted that the identity, combination(s), and dosages of these drugs (also referred to as general anesthesia drug[s]) are not specified in the protocol.
