About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of use of reversal agents for neuromuscular blockade in critically ill patients on time for neurological assessment after endotracheal intubation

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* The use of reversal agents for neuromuscular blockade after endotracheal intubation may reduce the time for neurological assessment. * The types of reversal agents for neuromuscular blockade may affect the time for neurological assessment.

Participants will receive different reversal agents or no medications based on the assigned groups. Thirty minutes after intubation using rocuronium, medication is administered, and the time of initial confirmation of eye opening and movement is recorded.

Researchers will compare 3 groups (sugammadex, neostigmine and control(no medication) to see the difference of time for neurological assessment after endotracheal intubation.
