Brief Summary

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

This is a secondary analysis of a previously performed prospective, observer-blinded, observational study at Massachusetts General Hospital. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of residual paralysis at admission to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) on total costs of hospital care.

Secondary analyses will be conducted to evaluate the effects of postoperative residual paralysis on potential cost-influencing factors, i.e. incidence of minor and major postoperative respiratory complications, hospital length of stay (LOS), unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission rate, as well as length of stay in the PACU.
