Summary
The investigators hypothesize that an anesthetic protocol maintaining deep neuromuscular
block throughout the entire surgical procedure followed by sugammadex reversal, would
suppress EMG activity and result in improved anesthetic stability by reducing the variability
of the Bispectral Index of the EEG, and be beneficial by reducing the total doses of the
anesthetic drugs propofol and remifentanil required to maintain an adequate level of
anesthesia (BIS between 40 and 60).
