Effects of neuromuscular blocking agents on central respiratory chemosensitivity in newborn rats

Biological Research, 2005
Neuromuscular blocking agents suppress central respiratory activity through their inhibitory effects on preinspiratory neurons and the synaptic drive from preinspiratory neurons to inspiratory neurons.

Respiratory muscle activity after spontaneous, neostigmine- or sugammadex-enhanced recovery of neuromuscular blockade: a double blind prospective randomized controlled trial

BMC Anesthesiology, 2019
Background The use of neostigmine after neuromuscular blockade (NMB) has been associated with postoperative respiratory complications. In previous studies, we found lower diaphragmatic activity after neostigmine reversal of NMB, compared to sugammadex ...

Partial neuromuscular blockage to promote weaning from mechanical ventilation in severe ARDS: A case report

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Spontaneous breathing efforts during mechanical ventilation can lead to patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI). In order to prevent P-SILI, patients are generally heavily sedated and receive muscle relaxation, resulting in a slower weaning process ...

Current status of neuromuscular reversal and neuromuscular monitoring in China: a cross-sectional survey

BMC Anesthesiology
Background and objective Residual neuromuscular blockade (rNMB) is associated with perioperative pulmonary complications. Effective neuromuscular monitoring and the use of reversal agents can help reduce rNMB.

Postoperative residual block in postanesthesia care unit more than two hours after the administration of a single intubating dose of atracuriumFNx01

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2011
Background: Residual neuromuscular blockade continues to be a clinical problem after surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of residual paralysis in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after a single intubating dose

Trends in the use of neuromuscular blocking agents, reversal agents and neuromuscular transmission monitoring: a single-centre retrospective cohort study

Perioperative Medicine
Background Residual neuromuscular blockade (rNMB) remains a persistent and preventable problem, with serious risks. Methods Our objective was to describe and assess patterns in the use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), neuromuscular transmission (

Anesthesia Management for Evacuation of Cerebral Abscess in Geriatric Patient with Myasthenia Gravis

Jurnal Neuroanestesi Indonesia
A Cerebral abscess is an intracranial focal abscess which is a life-threatening emergency. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder caused by antibodies targeting the neuromuscular junction’s post-synaptic receptor.

Neuromuscular Monitoring, Muscle Relaxant Use, and Reversal at a Tertiary Teaching Hospital 2.5 Years after Introduction of Sugammadex: Changes in Opinions and Clinical Practice

Anesthesiology Research and Practice, 2015
Sugammadex was introduced to Royal Perth Hospital in early 2011 without access restriction. Two departmental audits (26-page online survey and 1-week in-theatre snapshot audit) were undertaken to investigate the change of beliefs and clinical practice ...
