About this trial

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the agreement between acceleromyography and electromyography for measuring train-of-four (TOF) ratio at the end of surgery before reversal of neuromuscular blockade. Adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockade will undergo simultaneous TOF measurements using both monitoring methods. The study will assess the agreement between the two techniques, estimate measurement bias and limits of agreement, and determine the frequency of clinically relevant disagreement that could affect assessment of neuromuscular recovery and safe extubation.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Agreement Between Acceleromyography and Electromyography Train-of-Four Ratios

Agreement between the train-of-four (TOF) ratios measured simultaneously by acceleromyography and electromyography at the end of surgery. Agreement between the two measurement methods will be evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis.

Time frame
At the end of surgery, before administration of neuromuscular blockade reversal agents

Secondary outcomes

1

Mean Bias Between Acceleromyography and Electromyography TOF Ratios

Mean difference between the TOF ratio measured by acceleromyography and the TOF ratio measured by electromyography.

Time frame
At the end of surgery, before administration of neuromuscular blockade reversal agents
2

Ninety-Five Percent Limits of Agreement Between TOF Monitoring Methods

Upper and lower 95% limits of agreement for the difference between acceleromyography and electromyography TOF ratio measurements, calculated using Bland-Altman analysis.

Time frame
At the end of surgery, before administration of neuromuscular blockade reversal agents
3

Proportional Bias Between Acceleromyography and Electromyography TOF Ratios

Presence and magnitude of proportional bias between the two monitoring methods, evaluated by assessing the relationship between the difference in TOF ratios and the mean TOF ratio obtained by acceleromyography and electromyography.

Time frame
At the end of surgery, before administration of neuromuscular blockade reversal agents
4

Proportion of Participants With False Neuromuscular Recovery Indicated by Acceleromyography

Proportion of participants in whom acceleromyography indicates adequate neuromuscular recovery, defined as a TOF ratio greater than or equal to 0.90, while electromyography indicates residual neuromuscular blockade, defined as a TOF ratio below 0.90.

Time frame
At the end of surgery, before administration of neuromuscular blockade reversal agents
