Study arms

  • Experimental
    Deep neuromuscular blockade

    Rocuronium will be administered continuously to achieve post-tetanic count 1-2 during surgery.

    Drug: Deep neuromuscular blockade

  • Active comparator
    Moderate neuromuscular blockade

    Rocuronium will be administered continuously to achieve Train-of-four 1-2 during surgery.

    Drug: Moderate neuromuscular blockade

Interventions

  • DrugDeep neuromuscular blockade

    neuromuscular blockade will be performed using a continuous infusion of rocuronium. Post-tetanic count 1-2 will be maintained during surgery. After the end of surgery, sugammadex of 4 mg/kg will be administered to reverse neuromuscular blockade.

  • DrugModerate neuromuscular blockade

    neuromuscular blockade will be performed using a continuous infusion of rocuronium. Train-of-four 1-2 will be maintained during surgery. After the end of surgery, sugammadex of 2 mg/kg will be administered to reverse neuromuscular blockade.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperative quality of recovery

    The postoperative quality of recovery will be evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after the end of surgery by the investigator who are blinded to the group assignments.

    Time frame: within 48 hours after the end of surgery.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Surgical condition

    Surgical condition will be evaluated after the end of surgery by the investigator who are blinded to the group assignments.

    Time frame: within 48 hours after the end of surgery

  2. shoulder pain

    shoulder pain will be evaluated after the end of surgery by the investigator who are blinded to the group assignments.

    Time frame: within 48 hours after the end of surgery

  3. abdominal pain

    abdominal pain will be evaluated after the end of surgery by the investigator who are blinded to the group assignments.

    Time frame: within 48 hours after the end of surgery

  4. nausea and vomiting

    nausea and vomiting will be evaluated after the end of surgery by the investigator who are blinded to the group assignments.

    Time frame: within 48 hours after the end of surgery
