Summary
A deep neuromuscular block (NMB) is often associated with improved surgical conditions
especially in laparoscopic surgery. We previously showed that deep NMB is superior to a
moderate NMB under propofol anesthesia. However, this may not apply to sevoflurane anesthesia
and sevoflurane by itself produces some degree of muscle relaxation. We therefore plan to
investigate the effect of deep NMB on surgical conditions under sevoflurane anesthesia
maintenance.
