Comparison of the Impacts of Sugammadex With Neostigmine on Patency of Laryngeal Opening (Glottic Aperture Angle)

Comparison of the Impacts of Sugammadex With Neostigmine on Patency of Laryngeal Opening (Glottic Aperture Angle)

The aim of this study is to compare the degree of change in the angle of the vocal cords before and after administration of neostigmine or sugammadex. Moreover, we intend to compare the angle of vocal folds after administration of neostigmine or sugammadex.
