Study Summary
The investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized trial to assess the impact of neuromuscular blockade on early (\<72 hours post-ICU admission) postoperative respiratory complications in cardiac surgical patients. The study will compare continual neuromuscular blockade with cisatracurium to a single dose of succinylcholine during general anesthesia for cardiac surgery.
Primary Outcome
Having at least one of the following complications, determined according to pre-specified criteria: extubation delayed \>24hrs, reintubation, mechanical respiratory support, pneumonia, aspiration, ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), or mortality from respiratory arrest.
Interventions
- DRUG Cisatracurium
- DRUG Succinylcholine
