ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well patients recover from muscle relaxation after surgery when two different medications, Atracurium and Rocuronium, are used. After general anesthesia, some patients may experience lasting effects from these medications, which can lead to difficulties like trouble breathing or clearing secretions. To better understand recovery, researchers will use a hand dynamometer—a device that measures hand grip strength—along with other simple tests to evaluate how well patients regain their muscle function.

To be part of this study, participants need to be between 18 and 60 years old and classified as ASA II, which means they are generally healthy but may have mild medical issues. Unfortunately, individuals under 18 or over 60 years old, as well as those who have received certain medications, cannot participate. If you join the trial, you can expect to undergo various assessments to measure your muscle recovery after surgery, helping researchers learn which medication leads to better outcomes for patients in the future.
