About this trial
This study will compare how two drugs, sugammadex and neostigmine-used to reverse muscle relaxation after surgery-affect the size of the optic nerve sheath (the nerve behind the eye) as patients wake up and have their breathing tubes removed. It will also examine the relationship between changes in blood pressure and heart rate during this time and these measurements. This study will be conducted on 86 healthy patients aged 18-65 who will undergo planned surgery at the Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the sugammadex group and the neostigmine group. All patients will receive standard general anesthesia and rocuronium to relax their muscles. At the end of the surgery, to reverse this effect, patients will be given either sugammadex or a mix of neostigmine and atropine. Group S will receive 2 mg sugammadex per kg, while Group N will receive 0.05 mg neostigmine and 0.02 mg atropine per kg. The width of the optic nerve sheath will be measured by ultrasound 5 minutes after the breathing tube is inserted, 5 minutes before the tube is removed, and 5 minutes after it is removed. Additionally, blood pressure, heart rate, and any complications during the surgery will be tracked and compared between the groups.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in average optic nerve sheath diameter from intubation to the 5th minute after extubation
Three measurements will be taken for each eye using ultrasound to determine the diameter of the optic nerve sheath at 5 minutes after endotracheal intubation, 5 minutes before extubation, and 5 minutes after extubation; the average values for each eye will be recorded. Subsequently, the averages of the measurements obtained for both eyes will be calculated. Changes in these averages over time will be compared between groups.
Secondary outcomes
Blood Pressure
Blood pressure will be measured and recorded 5 minutes after endotracheal intubation, 5 minutes before extubation, and 5 minutes after extubation
Postoperative nausea and vomiting
The number of patients who experienced nausea and vomiting upon waking from anesthesia and during their stay in the postoperative care unit.
Blood pressure
Noninvasive measurement of blood pressure
