The availability of monitoring devices allowing an accurate measurement fo the degree of neuromuscular block during anesthesia has raised the standards for a proper evidence-based use of NMBAs.\n\nFor this purpose, one of the most widely used methods is the Train of Four (TOF): transcutaneous application of a series of 4 square-wave supra-maximal electrical stimuli over the course of a nerve of choice (most commonly the ulnar nerve). These are applied at a frequency of 2Hz, and each with a duration of 0.2ms. These stimuli elicit a motor response on the adductor pollicis muscle, which on its turn dictates the adduction of the thumb. The acceleration of this movement can be followed by means of an uni/multi-directional accelerometer attached to the thumb. The ratio of the acceleration of the 4th and 1st elicited contractions is called the TOF-Ratio - a clinically and scientifically established method of assessing neuromuscular block recovery. A value of 1 translates a full recovery of the muscular function of a patient. In modern Anesthesia, the bar for deeming a recovery as adequate has been set at a minimum of a TOF-ratio of \\>0.9, with some authors advocating a ratio of 1 as the only acceptable and complications avoiding result.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Adult patients (18 years old and above) receiving General Anesthesia for noncardiac surgery requiring the use of a neuromuscular blocking agent.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adult patients (18 years old and above) receiving General Anesthesia for noncardiac surgery requiring the use of a neuromuscular blocking agent.\n* Administration of General Anesthesia by means of Total Intravenous Anesthesia technique.\n* Use of Rocuronium as a neuromuscular blocking agent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Use of different types of neuromuscular blocking agents for the same patient within the same surgical procedure\n* Known Neuromuscular diseases/syndromes judged to condition accurate neuromuscular monitoring.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04518761', 'briefTitle': 'Predictive Modelling of the Intraoperative Train-of-Four (TOF) Ratio', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel'}, 'officialTitle': 'Predictive Modelling of the Intraoperative Train-of-Four (TOF) Ratio', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'TOFPROS02'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Prospective group', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Elective surgery']}, {'label': 'Retrospective group', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Elective surgery']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Elective surgery', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Any patient who needs to undergo an elective surgery.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Prospective group', 'Retrospective group']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '1090', 'city': 'Jette', 'state': 'Brussels Capital', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Belgium', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Evelien Vandeurzen, Biomedical Sciences', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'evelien.vandeurzen@uzbrussel.be', 'phone': '024749237'}, {'name': 'Hugo Carvalho, MD, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'UZ Brussel', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.87309, 'lon': 4.33419}}, {'zip': '8000', 'city': 'Bruges', 'state': 'WV', 'status': 'NOT_YET_RECRUITING', 'country': 'Belgium', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Hugo Carvalho, MD, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT'}, {'name': 'Hugo Carvalho, MD, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'AZ Sint Jan', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 51.20892, 'lon': 3.22424}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'UNDECIDED', 'description': 'Publication via medical article.'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
