Brief Summary

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

The effect of deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) during spine surgery reduced postoperative pain and bleeding in recent studies. Therefore by reducing these two factors, which were the contributing factors for postoperative delirium, deep NMB is expected to reduce the postoperative delirium. This study was designed to determine whether the deep NMB lowered the incidence of delirium after lumbar surgery.
