Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate a faster recovery from neuromuscular block (NMB) induced with rocuronium or vecuronium after reversal by 4.0 mg/kg of Org 25969 compared with reversal by 70 μg/kg of neostigmine in combination with 14 μg/kg glycopyrrolate.

rocuronium+sugammadex

Participants received a single bolus dose of 0.60 mg/kg rocuronium prior to intubation. The neuromuscular block was maintained with 0.15 mg/kg rocuronium if needed. At 1-2 post-tetanic counts (PTC) and after the last dose of rocuronium, a single bolus dose of 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex was administered.

rocuronium+neostigmine

Participants received a single bolus dose of 0.60 mg/kg rocuronium prior to intubation. The neuromuscular block was maintained with 0.15 mg/kg rocuronium if needed. At 1-2 PTC and after the last dose of rocuronium, a single bolus dose of 70.0 μg/kg neostigmine (up to a maximum dose of 5 mg) was administered in combination with 14.0 μg/kg glycopyrrolate.
