Measure
Sugammadex
The reversal agent, Sugammadex, will be administered at the start of closure. Sugammadex: Participants will receive 4mg/kg for a TOF 0-1 and 2mg/kg for a train of four (TOF) 2 or greater.
Neostigmine/Glycopyrrolate
The reversal agent, Neostigmine, will be administered at the start of closure. Neostigmine/Glycopyrrolate: Participants will receive 0.07mg/kg of Neostigmine and 0.01mg/kg of Glycopyrrolate, administered by anesthesia once at least two twitches are present.
