ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device that measures muscle relaxation during surgery, specifically looking at how well it works compared to a standard device called the TOF Watch®-SX. Muscle relaxation is important for certain surgeries, and the trial aims to see if this new device, which combines two types of monitoring technologies, can provide accurate information about muscle relaxation without the complicated setup that other devices often require.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be under 18 years old, be in good health (with a physical status of I to III), and be scheduled for elective surgery that requires muscle relaxation. Participants will need to voluntarily agree to take part and sign a consent form. Those with certain medical conditions, such as neuromuscular disorders or a history of allergic reactions to muscle relaxants, will not be included. If you choose to participate, you can expect to help researchers understand whether this new device can improve the safety and effectiveness of monitoring muscle relaxation during surgery.
