Group A
rocuronium + sugammadex / succinylcholine + normal saline Group A. "Muscle relaxant #1": rocuronium + sugammadex; "Muscle relaxant #2": succinylcholine +saline: The participants will be randomized to start with "Muscle relaxant #1" in the first study treatment, and will switch to "Muscle relaxant #2" in the second study treatment period.
Group B
succinylcholine + normal saline / rocuronium + sugammadex Group B. "Muscle relaxant #2": succinylcholine +saline; "Muscle relaxant #1": rocuronium + sugammadex;: The participants will be randomized to start with "Muscle relaxant #2" in the first study treatment, and will switch to "Muscle relaxant #1" in the second study treatment period.
