Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of post-operative residual curarization in our patients and to determine if Cisatracurium and Rocuronium behave differently from each other in terms of residual curarization.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cisatracurium

Induction and maintaining of anaesthesia with Propofol. Analgesia either with Fentanyl or Fentanyl+Remifentanyl.

Cisatracurium (Nimbex):

* initial dose: 0.2 mg/kg
* maintaining dose: 0.1 mg/kg (repeated anytime TOF-count reaches 2 twitches)

At the end of the surgical operation, patients will be administered Neostigmine 0.04 mg/kg and Atropine 0.02 mg/kg.

Patients will be extubated with a TOF-Ratio of at least 0.90.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cisatracurium

Intervention Type DRUG

Cisatracurium (Nimbex):

* initial dose: 0.2 mg/kg
* maintaining dose: 0.1 mg/kg (repeated anytime TOF-count reaches 2 twitches)

Rocuronium

Induction and maintaining of anaesthesia with Propofol. Analgesia either with Fentanyl or Fentanyl+Remifentanyl

Rocuronium (Esmeron):

* initial dose: 0.6 mg/kg
* maintaining dose: 0.15 mg/kg (repeated anytime TOF-count reaches 2 twitches)

At the end of the surgical operation, patients will be administered Neostigmine 0.04 mg/kg and Atropine 0.02 mg/kg.

Patients will be extubated with a TOF-Ratio of at least 0.90.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Rocuronium

Intervention Type DRUG

Rocuronium (Esmeron):

* initial dose: 0.6 mg/kg
