Brief Summary  

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are widely used to provide muscle relaxation for endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation and surgical procedures. They facilitate airway management and ensure optimal surgical conditions. Incomplete reversal can lead to impaired pharyngeal function, severe hypoxemia and airway obstruction. Antagonism of non-depolarising neuromuscular block is often facilitated with neostigmine, an anticholinesterase. Neostigmine in a dose of 70mcg/kg, if used as reversal, takes 15 to 20 minutes to achieve a TOF ratio of 0.90 in 95% of the patients, that is for complete reversal. Without reversal, it will take approximately 90 to 120 minutes to reverse the effects of an intermediate-acting neuromuscular blocking drug like Cis-atracurium. Cis-atracurium undergoes Hoffman elimination and does not usually require antagonism. My study aims to show that there is a significant difference in the time taken to achieve complete reversal with or without Neostigmine, by assessing the time needed to achieve a TOF ratio of 0.9 after injecting the study drug, PACU stay time and clinical parameters of post-operative recovery.
