Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Feasibility of providing adequate surgical conditions by maintaining entropy of 40-50 and without dense neuromuscular blockade.
2. Comparison of surgical conditions and atracurium requirement between use of liberal dose of atracurium to achieve dense neuromuscular block (group F) and restricted use of atracurium while maintain adequate depth of anesthesia (group V)
3. Comparison of dose of neostigmine for reversal of NMBD with a liberal dose of neostigmine administered based on clinical judgment with administration of neostigmine titrated to TOF ratio.
 
intraop 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Comparison of maximum intra abdominal pressure, peak airway pressure at highest intra abdominal pressure, airway Compliance at highest intra abdominal pressure, requirement of isoflurane, requirement of intraoperative fentanyl between the groups.
2. Comparison of TOF ratio at the time of decision of reversal and time for extubation,
3. Comparison of TOF ratio at extubation and in the post extubation period,
4. Comparison of postoperative pulmonary complications between the groups,
5. Comparison of VAS and RSS score between the groups,
6. Comparison of change in muscle grip strength and PEFR from baseline, time required to sit and stand between the groups.

Brief Summary   After ethics commitee approval and CTRI registration, This prospective randomised controlled trial will include 40 patients undergoing lap cholecystectomy under GA dividedinto 2 groups : Group F to receive weight based muscle relaxant and atracurium and fixed dose of neostigmine  and group V : to receive restricted muscle relaxant anf TOF guided neostigmine. under entropy guidance. Intraop surgical conditionbs, airway pressure, muscle relant and neostigmine dose, extubation, recovery time, postop muscle grip strength, peak expiratory flow rate,  situp, stan and postop pulmonary complications will be assessed
