Summary

This study compares two drugs, sugammadex and neostigmine, to see which one helps lung function recover better after lung surgery. 240 adults having a specific type of lung surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the drugs. The main goal is to measure how well the lungs work one hour after surgery, with a focus on reducing breathing problems.
