Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  NEOSTIGMINE  At the end of the surgery(When the TOF monitor is at 2-3 twitches), Inj.Neostigmine(along with Inj. Glycopyrolate ) is given immediately through intravenous route only once as the reversal agent for neuromuscular block .Inj. Neostigmine is given at a dose of 0.05mg per kg Body weight of patient (Total dose not to exceed 5 mg) and Inj. Glycopyrolate is given at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg Body weight of the patient (Total dose not to exceed 1mg) .Neostigmine and Glycopyrolate is diluted into 10 ml with Normal Saline (0.9 % NaCl solution). Inj. Glycopyrolate is added to minimize the muscarinic side effects of Inj. Neostigmine ,which is a Standard Practice .  
Intervention  SUGGAMADEX  At the end of the surgery(when the TOF monitor is at 2-3 twitches), Inj. Suggamadex is given immediately as a Reversal agent for Neuromuscular block.It is given through intravenous route as a single dose of 2mg per kg bodyweight of the patient(only once). It is diluted into 10 ml with Normal saline(0.9% NaCl solution) .

Brief Summary  
This is a prospective, double-blind , randomised control study to be conducted in various Operation Theatres under the Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care,Gauhati Medical college and hospital, Guwahati. The study will be carried out on Geriatric patients ( age greater than 60 years  ) of both sexes posted for elective surgeries.The aim of this study is to compare the Neuromuscular block recovery by using Suggamadex vs Neostigmine for Vecuronium Neuromuscular block in Geriatric patients undergoing General Anaesthesia. The Secondary objective of this study is to compare the time to extubation, time of shifting the patient from Operating Room and hemodynamic changes after administration of reversal agent.
