NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKADE
SD=standard deviation; RVIHR=robotic ventral incisional hernia repair;
LVIHR=laparoscopic ventral incisional hernia repair.Regarding drug vials consumed per patient, no significant difference was noted in
routine medications (RVIHR: 8.6±7.62 vials; LVIHR: 8.53±6.92 vials; p=0.888),
intravenous fluids (RVIHR: 17.8±11.01 vials; LVIHR: 24.11±17.79 vials; p=0.089),
electrolyte replacement (RVIHR: 1.8±1.94 vials; LVIHR: 2.37±1.8 vials; p=0.191),
neuromuscular blockade reversal agents (RVIHR: 1.4±0.6 vials; LVIHR: 2.21±2.25
vials; p=0.612), vasoactive drugs (RVIHR: 0.3±0.57 vials; LVIHR: 0.68±0.95 vials;
p=0.144), antibiotics (RVIHR: 2.47±7.78 vials; LVIHR: 4.6±1.35 vials; p=0.497),
analgesics (RVIHR: 24.7±13.5 vials; LVIHR: 25.58±19.61 vials; p=0.966), antiemetics
(RVIHR: 5.6±5.79 vials; LVIHR: 6.53±6 vials; p=0.24), and other (RVIHR: 1.5±1.19
vials; LVIHR: 3.53±7.28 vials; p=0.885). On the other hand, there was a significant
difference in the consume of anesthetics (RVIHR: 5.55±1.54 vials; LVIHR: 4.26±1.88
vials; p=0.016), local anesthetic agents (RVIHR: 4.5±1.19 vials; LVIHR: 1.68±1.42
vials; p<0.001), and neuromuscular blocking agents (RVIHR: 3.25±1.21 vials;
LVIHR: 2.21±1.44 vials; p=0.016).
