Quantitative Versus qUAlitative NeuromoniToring of neUroMuscular Block for Non-cardiothoracic Surgery
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Start Date
9/22/2025
Completion Date
4/1/2026
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of quantitative block monitoring versus less expensive qualitative monitoring treatment effects on the lowest SpO2/FiO2 ratio in the PACU. The results will be incorporated into an enhanced recovery pathway for surgical patients.
