Abstract:In this small blinded randomized controlled multicenter trial, the authors have evaluated the effect of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on surgical conditions during-low pressure pneumoperitoneum (PNP) laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Previous evidence supports that low-pressure PNP (6 mmHg) reduces post-operative pain, but sometimes may restrain visibility and surgical access. By applying deep NMB authors were able to demonstrate lower post-operative opiate requirement besides improvement in surgical conditi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
