Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Efficacy parametersTimepoint: The train of four will be recorded every 10 min for the first 2 h (period of surgery) and then at least hourly until complete spontaneous recovery (maximum period of 6 hours) as evident from recording of train-of-four without fade phenomenon.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Safety parameters-Timepoint: The BP, pO2, respiratory rate, pulse (HR), QTc interval(ECG), will be recorded prior to anaesthesia, during anesthesia and surgery at 10 minutes interval till end of surgery, while in the post operative period will be recorded at 2 hrs, 4hrs and 6 hours. Haematological and serological investigations will be done before the procedure and at the end of 6 hours after surgery.
