Official title
Evaluation of Neuromuscular Blockade Responses in Statin-Using and Non-Using Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery Under General Anesthesia, Monitored by Train-of-Four (TOF)
Overview
This study aims to compare the neuromuscular blockade responses in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, with a focus on the use of statins. The study will assess the depth of neuromuscular blockade, recovery time, and postoperative residual curarization using Train-of-Four (TOF) monitoring, with the primary goal of determining whether statin use alters the neuromuscular blockade management.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test TOF (Train-of-Four) monitoring for depth of neuromuscular blockade.
General anesthesia with propofol and fentanyl induction followed by rocuronium for neuromuscular blockade; maintenance with desflurane and remifentanil.
Primary outcome measures
- Time to reach TOF count 0 [Time frame: 0th minute]
- Time to reach TOF 40 [Time frame: about 40th minute]
- Time to reach TOF 90 (reversal of neuromuscular blockade) [Time frame: about 60th minute]
Eligibility criteria

- Signed informed consent for participation in the study
Exclusion criteria
- ASA classification IV or higher
