This study aims to compare the neuromuscular blockade responses in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, with a focus on the use of statins. The study will assess the depth of neuromuscular blockade, recovery time, and postoperative residual curarization using Train-of-Four (TOF) monitoring, with the primary goal of determining whether statin use alters the neuromuscular blockade management.
