Deep Neuromuscular Blockade Improves Laparoscopic Surgical Conditions: A Randomized, Controlled Study

Furthermore, low insufflation pressure did not result in reduced pain, compared with standard pressure.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT01728584.Funding: Merck Sharp and Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck& Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA.
