Brief Summary  
Residual neuromuscular blockade is a known cause of postoperative complications
after general anaesthesia with relaxants. Various reasons have been cited for this, including
but not limited to the type of surgery, duration of surgery, neuromuscular blocker used, dose
of Neuromuscular blockade and the type and dose of reversal used. Many measures have
been suggested to reduce the incidence of Residual neuromuscular blockade, like adequate
titration of dose of Neuromuscular blockade and reversal used and timing of the reversal
agent, to preclude Residual neuromuscular blockade but various studies continue to show
significant incidence of Residual Neuromuscular blockade and its associated morbidity.
Neuromuscular monitoring is a useful tool, both intraoperatively and postoperatively to guide
Neuromuscular blockade use and reversal but is not used often and to its potential. It can
significantly reduce the incidences of Residual neuromuscular blockade.
We aim to conduct an observational study into the incidence of Residual
neuromuscular blockade in the post anaesthesia care unit of patients undergoing surgery in
general anaesthesia with muscle relaxants. This study will include 290 Patients. All patients
found eligible and who consent to the study will be enrolled. Demographic and clinical
details of the patients will be noted. All patients undergoing surgery under general
anaesthesia, will be checked for Residual neuromuscular blockade with a neuromuscular
monitor using Train of four mode, on their arrival to the Post anaesthesia care unit. Patients
having a TOF ratio < 0.9 will be considered to have a Residual neuromuscular blockade.
