Postoperative conditions after antagonism of neuromuscular blocking agent and extubation without use of a neuromuscular monitor

Editor—We thank Muggleton & Muggleton¹ and Sethi and colleagues² for their interest in our study.³ In that particular study we measured postoperative haemoglobin oxygen saturation in patients whilst not receiving supplemental oxygen by mask after extubation under so called "blinded conditions", that is without the use of a neuromuscular monitor but based solely on clinical signs, after antagonism with either sugammadex or neostigmine.
