Reversal of rocuronium with edrophonium during propofol versus sevoflurane anesthesia

Background: The use of volatile anesthetics for maintenance of anesthesia can enhance the action of non‐depolarizing muscle relaxants and interfere with the reversal of neuromuscular blockade. In this study, we studied the antagonism of rocuronium with edrophonium‐atropine during propofol‐ versus sevoflurane‐based anesthesia.
