Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) affects pain and opioid use during laparoscopic colorectal surgery compared to moderate NMB.
- 100 patients were randomly divided into deep and moderate NMB groups, with the deep group requiring significantly less remifentanil (an opioid) during surgery.
- Results indicated that deep NMB improved surgical conditions, evidenced by a better Leiden Surgical Rating Scale and lower intra-abdominal pressure, while postoperative pain and analgesic use were similar to the moderate group.
