The study population will include all patients >18 years scheduled for an elective surgical procedure undergoing general anesthesia with intravenous drugs and non-depolarizing NMBA (rocuronium), with or without regional analgesia.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: 1)Determine if TOF ratio decreases after reaching a maximum value post administration of sugammadex or neostigmine (recurarization). 2)By inclusion of sufficient number of study subjects, verify if conclusions of Pongracz et al. are correct, i.e. that most patients are adequately reversed within 5 min from time point of T4-occurrence (sugammadex 1 mg/kg), 10 min (sugammadex 0.5 mg/kg), and 15 min (neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg). ;Main Objective: The primary aim of the study is to determine cut-off values of TOF ratio above which at least 56 patients are successfully reversed with sugammadex or neostigmine within pre- determined time frames (5-15 min). ;Primary end point(s): Time needed to achieve normalized TOF ratio 1.0 after administration of reversal agent (sugammadex or neostigmine).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: pre- determined time frames (5-15 min). | — |
