23 Recovery strategy Giving time to spontaneous/neostigmine reversal

24 Neostigmine reversal The average reversal time is approximately 12 minutes, as reported in recent studies. However, a large inter-individual variability exists. 10% of patients might need more than 60 minutes to reach a TOF ratio of 0.9. E.Dubois and J.P. Mulier.
