Summary

This study aimed to see if skipping a type of muscle relaxant during general anesthesia could lower the risk of serious lung complications in high-risk surgery patients. The trial was terminated early after enrolling only 3 participants, so no meaningful conclusions can be drawn. The study was designed for adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery with a breathing tube.
