[Reversal from non-depolarising neuromuscular blockade in the postoperative period].

Background: Postoperative residual curarisation (PORC) is a serious and underestimated problem and may occur even after relaxation with medium-acting non-depolarising agents.

Methods: One hundred adult patients, scheduled for elective surgical procedures, were enrolled in the study. Atracurium or cis-atracurium was used for relaxation.
