Reversing muscle relaxant with sugammadex during anesthesia
This trial tests how well sugammadex reverses the effects of a drug (pipecuronium) used to relax muscles during surgery. If you are having general surgery or neurosurgery and need a breathing tube, this study may help ensure you wake up with full muscle control.
