Brief summary

Prospective Randomized non inferiority Trial involving adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.56 Patients will be enrolled in 2 groups : full dose sugammadex vs half dose sugammadex for reversal of NMB.

Detailed description

The investigators' aim is to prove that half dose sugammadex in combination with neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg is non-inferior to the recommended dose of sugammadex for the reversal of deep ( absence of Trian of Four response :TOF) or moderate ( TOF 1 or 2 twiches) muscle paralysis in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
