Randomized Controlled TrialNeuromuscular blockade during laparoscopic ventral herniotomy: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Laparoscopic herniotomy is the preferred technique for some ventral hernias. Several factors may influence the surgical conditions, one being the depth of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) applied. We hypothesised that deep neuromuscular blockade defined as a post-tetanic count below eight would provide a better surgical workspace. ⋯ The study is funded by a research grant from the Investigator Initiated Studies Program of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
