No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.
Summary
In this study the investigators will assess (i) the effect of partial neuromuscular blockade (NMB; TOF ratio 0.8 and 0.6) induced by low-dose rocuronium on the ventilatory response to isocapnic hypoxia and (ii) the effect over time (from TOF 0.6 to TOF 1.0) of the reversal by sugammadex, neostigmine or placebo in healthy volunteers.
Additionally the investigators will assess the effect of partial NMB (TOF ratio 0.6) induced by low-dose rocuronium on the ventilatory response to hypercapnia and effect over time (from TOF 0.6 to TOF 1.0) of the reversal by sugammadex, neostigmine or placebo in healthy volunteers.
