Randomized Controlled Trial
Dexamethasone decreases the duration of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block: A randomised controlled study.
Several drugs influence the time course of neuromuscular block during general anaesthesia. ⋯ A single dose of dexamethasone 8 mg attenuated rocuronium-induced block by 15 to 20% if administered 2 to 3 h prior to induction of anaesthesia. However, the administration of dexamethasone during induction of anaesthesia did not influence the time course of the neuromuscular block.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Deep neuromuscular block improves surgical conditions during laparoscopic hysterectomy: A randomised controlled trial.
The benefit of inducing deep neuromuscular block to improve laparoscopic surgical conditions is controversial. ⋯ Inducing deep neuromuscular block (train-of-four count <1) significantly improved surgical field scores and made it possible to completely prevent unacceptable surgical conditions.
