Sugammadex versus neostigmine for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade: A randomized, double-blinded study of thoracic surgical patients evaluating hypoxic episodes in the early postoperative period.

•Reversal with sugammadex results in less hypoxia compared to neostigmine.•Reversal with neostigmine in thoracic patients can result in residual blockade.•Sugammadex results in a much faster reversal of neuromuscular block than neostigmine.
