PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at 90 minutes after the administration of the reversal agent

Population: Eight patients were removed due to missing TOF at 90 min or TOF count not larger than 4.

TOF (train of four), also known as a peripheral nerve stimulator, is used to assess nerve function in patients receiving neuromuscular blocking agents (paralytic medications). Before giving the medications, the baseline must be measured because this tells how much electrical stimulation the patient needs for nerve stimulation without any paralytic on board. Our primary outcome TOF ratio between TOF at 90 minutes after the administration of the reversal agent versus the TOF at baseline tells us how well the treatment is working to reverse the rocuronium Neuromuscular. This is a sensitivity analysis of primary analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: from baseline to 90 minutes after the administration of the reversal agent

Population: There were 6 (17%) missing in sugammadex group and 5 (15%) missing in neostigmine group on diaphragmatic function outcomes.

The change of diaphragmatic contractility speed was defined as baseline minus postoperative diaphragmatic contraction.
