About this trial
BACKGROUND: Some studies have revealed that deep neuromuscular block (NMB) improve surgical conditions and alleviated postoperative pain compared with moderate NMB. The present study investigated deep NMB could improve the quality of recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy
METHODS: seventy-two women with elective laparoscopic hysterectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups: Patients in group A received low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (LPP), which was set at 8-10 mmHg with deep NMB. Patients in group B received standard-pressure pneumoperitoneum (SPP), which was set at 12-14 mmHg with moderate NMB. Primary outcome was the quality of recovery (QoR-15) at 1 day after sugery. The secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, surgical condition, incidence of shoulder pain, the incidence of rescue analgesic drug use, cumulative dose of analgesics, time of first flatus, post-operative nausea and vomiting, time of tracheal tube removal.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Quality of recovery
Primary outcome measure was the quality of recovery at 1 day after surgery. Quality of recovery-15 scale was used to assess the quality of recovery after operation. A higher score of quality of recovery-15 scale indicates a better quality of recovery after surgery
Secondary outcomes
Shoulder pain
Secondary Outcome Measure was the incidence of shoulder pain
Postoperative nausea and vomiting
Secondary Outcome Measure was the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. PONV score was evaluated verbally with a descriptive scale (0 = None, 1 = Mild Nausea, 2 = Moderate Nausea, 3 = One Vomiting, 4 = Multiple Vomiting).
