Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Surgery | Drug: Neostigmine+glycopyrrolate Drug: Sugammadex | Phase 3 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 201 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | Randomized Controlled Assessor Blinded Clinical Trial of Sugammadex Versus Neostigmine /Glycopyrrolate for Reversal of Rocuronium Induced Neuromuscular Blockade: Time to Discharge From Post Anesthesia Care Unit and Patient Satisfaction With Recovery |
Actual Study Start Date : | April 7, 2017 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | April 2021 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | April 2021 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Neuromuscular blockade reversed with neostigmine/gly |
Drug: Neostigmine+glycopyrrolate
At the conclusion of surgery neuromuscular blockade reversed with neostigmine/glycopyrrolate |
Active Comparator: Neuromuscular blockade reversed with sugammadex |
Drug: Sugammadex
At the conclusion of surgery neuromuscular blockade reversed with sugammadex |
- Measure Participants' Recovery Time Post-Surgery [ Time Frame: 1 day ]Determine whether SUG, as compared to NEO decreases time for patients to be ready for discharge from the PACU post-surgery.
