The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of quantitative block monitoring versus less expensive qualitative monitoring treatment effects on the lowest SpO2/FiO2 ratio in the PACU. The results will be incorporated into an enhanced recovery pathway for surgical patients.

| Quantitative monitoring | Device | The TetraGraph TOF monitor will be used to quantitatively assess the TOF-ratio. Quantitative monitoring includes objective measurement of the TOF-ratio, as defined by the ratio between the first and the fourth muscular responses and is quantified by acceleromyography. A TOF twitch response ratio equal or greater to 95% (TOF0.95) will be targeted prior to extubation. If TOF0.95 is not reached within 10 min of administering the initial dose of the respective reversal agent, redosing is recommended. |

Designated operating rooms of the hospital will be cluster randomized in this study. For each week of the 24-week trial, the designated operating rooms will be randomized to either quantitative or qualitative TOF monitoring.

| Qualitative monitoring | Other | Clinicians will assess the TOF-ratio. Qualitative monitoring includes subjective assessment of the count and the amplitude of the muscular responses related to neuromuscular block depth. A TOF twitch response count of 4 similarly strong twitches will be targeted prior to extubation. If 4 similarly strong TOF twitch responses are not reached within 10 min of administering the initial dose of the respective reversal agent, redosing is recommended. |
