BACKGROUND: Neuroendocrine stress response induces physiological changes depending on the type of surgery and anesthesia. Although the optimal depth of neuromuscular blockade for reducing this response remains unknown, deep neuromuscular blockade is known to improve the surgical environment. Therefore, we hypothesized that a patient's stress response would be lower in surgical procedures under deep neuromuscular blockade than under moderate neuromuscular blockade.

METHODS: This prospective, randomized, single-blind study enrolled 72 patients who underwent laparoscopic gynecological surgery under general anesthesia and were assigned to group D (deep blockade: target train-of-four 0 and posttetanic count ≥ 1) or group M (moderate blockade: target train-of-four count 1-3). The primary endpoints were changing patterns in cortisol and adrenocorticotrophic hormone levels; the secondary endpoints were patient outcomes, such as hemodynamic variables, serum glucose level, postoperative pain in the postanesthesia care unit, and hospital stay.

RESULTS: The baseline characteristics were comparable between the 67 patients included in the 2 groups (34 in group M and 33 in group D). Cortisol and adrenocorticotrophic hormone levels increased perioperatively in both groups but without significant intergroup differences. Serum glucose level increased perioperatively and decreased postoperatively, but without a significant intergroup difference. Postoperative pain, fentanyl requirement in the postanesthesia care unit, and hospital stay were also comparable.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared with moderate neuromuscular blockade, deep neuromuscular blockade improved the surgical environment without significant intergroup differences in the hormonal stress response.
