The paper analyzes the incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade (NMB) after pipecuronium and rocuronium administration in 124 neurosurgical patients. We analyzed neuromuscular conductance with TOF-Watch SX Residual NMB incidence after neuromuscular blocking agents administration in neurosurgical patients is 87.7%. Use of pipecuronium accompanied by a greater incidence and duration of residual NMB in comparison with rocuronium. Sugammadex administration is effective method of residual NMB reversal and can restore NMC in 3-5 minutes.
