Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate a faster recovery from neuromuscular block induced by 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium after reversal at 3 minutes by 16.0 mg/kg of sugammadex compared with recovery after a neuromuscular block induced by 1.0 mg/kg succinylcholine.

Arms & Interventions
Rocuronium + Sugammadex
Participants were to receive a single bolus dose of 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium. Three minutes after the start of the rocuronium administration, they were to receive a single bolus dose of 16.0 mg/kg sugammadex.
Intervention: Sugammadex
Rocuronium + Sugammadex
Participants were to receive a single bolus dose of 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium. Three minutes after the start of the rocuronium administration, they were to receive a single bolus dose of 16.0 mg/kg sugammadex.
Intervention: Rocuronium
Succinylcholine
Participants were to receive a single bolus dose of 1.0 mg/kg succinylcholine and allowed to recovery spontaneously from neuromuscular blockade.
Intervention: Succinylcholine
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Time to Recovery of T1 to 10% of Baseline Value From Start of Rocuronium + Sugammadex or Succinylcholine Administration
Time Frame: Up to 15 minutes after administration of rocuronium + sugammadex or succinylcholine
Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive Train-Of-Four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 refers to the amplitude (height) of the first twitch after TOF nerve stimulation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Time to Recovery of T1 to 90% of Baseline Value From Start of Rocuronium + Sugammadex or Succinylcholine Administration(Up to 20 minutes after administration of rocuronium + sugammadex or succinylcholine)
- Number of Participants Experiencing General Muscle Weakness(Up to 24 hours after administration of rocuronium + sugammadex or succinylcholine)
- Level of Consciousness: Number of Participants Awake and Oriented(Up to 24 hours after administration of rocuronium + sugammadex or succinylcholine)
- Level of Consciousness: Number of Participants Arousable With Minimal Stimulation(Up to 24 hours after administration of rocuronium + sugammadex or succinylcholine)
- Level of Consciousness: Number of Participants Responsive Only to Tactile Stimulation(Up to 24 hours after administration of rocuronium + sugammadex or succinylcholine)
- Number of Participants Able to Perform 5-Second Head Lift(Up to 24 hours after administration of rocuronium + sugammadex or succinylcholine)
