A Prospective Randomized Blinded Controlled Trial Comparing Clinical Outcomes in Cardiac Surgical Patients Who Receive Sugammadex vs. Placebo
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Sugammadex and Placebo for Surgery. Completed, enrolled 74 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a prospective randomized blinded controlled trial that will enroll 175 subjects undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass at NorthShore University HealthSystem. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes in elective and urgent cardiac surgical patients at NorthShore University HealthSystem when receiving sugammadex, a common neuromuscular blockade reversal drug given after surgery and before the breathing tube is removed vs. those patients who do not receive sugammadex (placebo) group. The Investigators will compare the following outcomes in both the sugammadex and placebo groups during patients hospital stay: # of patients who have the breathing tube removed within 6 hour of the end of surgery, time it takes to remove the breathing tube after surgery, ICU and hospital length of stay, cost of the ICU stay, time to achieve a train of four ratio of \> or equal to 0.9, whether patients develop pneumonia or not, whether they require the breathing tube to be replaced during their hospital stay and to compare the nursing perception of patients recovery within first 24 hours of their ICU stay.

Interventions
Fifteen minutes after ICU arrival, subjects will be administered sugammadex (2 mg/kg assuming a twitch count of 2-4 of 4 or 4mg/kg assuming a twitch count less than 2 of 4) by the anesthesia provider. Five minutes after administration, a quantitative neuromuscular monitor (TetraGraph, Senzime, Uppsala, Sweden) will be applied and the TOF ratio will be recorded.
