Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients anesthetized for elective surgery for which they need to be intubated and fully relaxed throughout the procedure, ASA I-III.
Exclusion criteria: Lack of consent, patients with neuromuscular disease, with anticipated difficult intubation, kidney failure, personal or family history of malignant hyperthermia, allergy to any anesthetics used, pregnant or nursing women, women taking oral contraceptives, patients receiving drugs that could interfere with sugammadex.

Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: 100 Years
Gender: Both males and females
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Anaesthesiology - Anaesthetics
Residual neuromuscular blockade;
Residual neuromuscular blockade
Intervention(s)
We will clinically evaluate (using TOF values) residual neuromuscular blockade after reversal with sugammadex in patients intraoperatively receiving glucocorticoids (dexamethasone 0,15 mg/kg i.v. at the end of the operation) for PONV prevention in comparison to individuals, receiving standard treatment (granisetron 1 mg i.v. after induction) - control group. Concurrently we will withdraw a blood sample before and after application of sugammadex to measure rocuronium and dexamethasone (in observation group) blood level.
Primary Outcome(s)
We will measure acceleromyographic response of ulnar nerve stimulation on m. pollicis brevis through TOF (train-of- four) value.[Measurements will start at the end of operation, just before i.v. application of sugammadex and will continue in 15 second intervals until full recovery of muscle strength (TOF value > 90%).]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Blood dexamethason concentration (in observational group).[Before sugammadex application and after full reversal of neuromuscular block according to TOF.]
Blood rocuronium concentration (in both groups).[Before sugammadex application and after full reversal of neuromuscular block according to TOF.]
