Summary
Patients who undergo surgery receive drugs called neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) that
to block the activity of muscles. When the surgery is over, the block needs to be reversed.
Suggammadex and neostigmine are examples of drugs that reverse blocks. This study aims to
investigate if sugammadex is associated with a significantly reduced time to discharge from
the operating room to the postoperative unit when compared to neostigmine.
