The use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), different reversal agents and their effect on respiratory outcome after surgery is still the subject of research and debate. 
Some studies have suggested that sugammadex  may have a positive impact on respiratory outcome, compared to neostigmine. As part of a larger trial, we wanted to assess whether reversal of a moderate level of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) with sugammadex resulted in better inspiratory muscle activity.
