Table 2

Incidence (%) of adverse events in the recovery room in patients with (train-of-four [TOF] ratio <0.9) versus without (train-of-four [TOF] ratio >0.9) residual neuromuscular blockade. All differences were found to be not significant.

Bronchospasm ( [%])	0	0
Laryngospasm ( [%])	0	2 (3.2)
Coughing ( [%])	1 (5.3)	2 (3.2)
Oxygen desaturation less than 95% ( [%])	2 (10.5)	8 (12.9)
Airway obstruction ( [%])	0	2 (3.2)
