Magnesium Sulfate
1ml/kg of the study solution containing 60 mg/ml of magnesium sulphate are given intravenously over 15 minutes in the conscious patient. After anaesthesia induction and calibration of neuromuscular monitoring (TOF Watch SX - acceleromyography) 0,6 mg/kg of rocuronium is given intravenously. After recovery of the neuromuscular block to a posttetanic count of 2 (deep neuromuscular block) (PTC 2) or reappearance of 2 twitches of the Train of four (superficial neuromuscular block) 4 mg/kg (deep neuromuscular block) or 2 mg/kg (superficial neuromuscular block) of Sugammadex are given intravenously.
Placebo comparator
1ml/kg of the study solution containing physiologic saline are given intravenously over 15 minutes in the conscious patient. After anaesthesia induction and calibration of neuromuscular monitoring (TOF Watch SX - acceleromyography) 0,6 mg/kg of rocuronium is given intravenously. After recovery of the neuromuscular block to a posttetanic count of 2 (deep neuromuscular block) (PTC 2) or reappearance of 2 twitches of the Train of four (superficial neuromuscular block) 4 mg/kg (deep neuromuscular block) or 2 mg/kg (superficial neuromuscular block) of Sugammadex are given intravenously.
