The Influence of Neuromuscular Reversal on Neurological Physical Exam Time in Lumbar Neurosurgical Cases.

The Influence of Neuromuscular Reversal With Neostigmine or Sugammadex on Neurological Physical Exam Time in Lumbar Neurosurgical Cases.

Neurological physical exam is a very important outcome that should be evaluated as soon as possible after every lumbar procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neurological physical examination time after lumbar procedures.

Neurological physical exam is a very important outcome that should be evaluated as soon as possible after every lumbar procedures.

Two routinely used different reversal agents (neostigmine or sugammadex) were compared according reversal times and muscle strength on PACU admission.
