Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a deep neuromuscular block with a continuous infusion of rocuronium titrated to a post-tetanic count (PTC) of 1-2 responses combined with reversal of neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex results in improved surgical conditions for the surgeon and/or improved post-operative respiratory function for the patients as compared to a standard technique with an intubation dose of rocuronium and top-ups as needed to maintain a neuromuscular blockade with a train of four (TOF) count of 1-2 and reversal of neuromuscular blockade with neostigmine/glycopyrrolate.
Furthermore, we want to investigate the effect of pneumoperitoneum, and NMB with rocuronium and reversal with sugammadex or neostigmine/glycopyrrolate on cerebral tissue oxygenation.
