Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Efficacy parameters

Time Frame: The train of four will be recorded every 10 min for the first 2 h (period of surgery) and then at least hourly until complete spontaneous recovery (maximum period of 6 hours) as evident from recording of train-of-four without fade phenomenon.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Safety parameters-(The BP, pO2, respiratory rate, pulse (HR), QTc interval(ECG), will be recorded prior to anaesthesia, during anesthesia and surgery at 10 minutes interval till end of surgery, while in the post operative period will be recorded at 2 hrs, 4hrs and 6 hours.)
