Objective : To observe the haemodynamic parameters including Heart Rate Blood pressure Respiratory rate and Oxygen Saturation with or without giving reversal agent on extubation in patients receiving atracurium on induction , and secondary objective was to observe post operative residual paralysis respiratory depression and cough and gag reflex Study design : Controlled , randomised , and triple Blind trial . Place and duration of study: Dr Ziauddin Hospital Clifton Karachi , from March to June 2025.

At the end of the surgery, patients in Group A were administered IV normal saline and Group B were administered neoglycopyrolate 50 mcg/kg . The primary outcome was to observe heart rate , blood pressure, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate after giving the drug , before extubation , at extubation and at 1mins, 5mins, 10mins, 20mins, and 2h thereafter, while the secondary outcome was to observe post operative airway reflexes and residual paralysis in the post anaesthesia care unit
