Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Incidence of postoperative residual weakness in the recovery room	Approximately 10 minutes of surgery recovery period	Number of patients to experience postoperative residual weakness after receiving Sugammadex as standard of care for liver transplant surgery. Postoperative residual weakness is defined as train-of-four \<0.9 measured by an EMG device placed on the thumb which is also part of standard of care for intraoperative assessment of muscle weakness.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
ICU Admission	30 days	Number of patients to require ICU admission following liver transplantation
Hospital length of stay	30 days	Total number of days patients are admitted to the hospital following liver transplantation
Postoperative pulmonary complications	30 days	Number of postoperative pulmonary complications defined as pneumonia and respiratory failure
