Full description

Neurological physical exam is a very important outcome that should be evaluated as soon as possible after every lumbar procedures. By that early postoperative neurological complications can be revealed and early interventions planned. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neurological physical examination time after lumbar procedures. Two routinely used different reversal agents (neostigmine or sugammadex) were compared according reversal times and muscle strength on PACU admission.
