Neuromuscular Blockade Sugammadex Neostigmine Myasthenia Gravis Postoperative Residual Curarization

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness and safety of a medication called sugammadex in helping patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) recover from anesthesia during a specific surgery called thoracoscopic thymectomy. The trial compares sugammadex to another medication, neostigmine, to see which one helps patients recover faster from muscle relaxation caused by anesthesia. A total of 64 patients aged 18 to 65 years with MG who are scheduled for this surgery can participate.

During the trial, patients will be randomly divided into two groups – one group will receive sugammadex, while the other will receive neostigmine. Both groups will undergo the same surgical and anesthesia procedures. Researchers will measure how quickly patients recover their muscle function and any potential side effects after taking the medications. This trial is important because finding the best way to help patients recover from anesthesia can improve their overall experience and safety during and after surgery.
