Neuromuscular Blockade Monitoring

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2021
Neuromuscular monitoring is essential for optimal management of neuromuscular blocking drugs. Postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade continues to occur with an unacceptably high incidence and is associated with adverse patient outcomes. Use of a peripheral nerve stimulator and subjective tactile or visual assessment is useful for intraoperative ...

Sugammadex versus neostigmine for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade: A randomized, double-blinded study of thoracic surgical patients evaluating hypoxic episodes in the early postoperative period.

Journal of clinical anesthesia, 2020
STUDY OBJECTIVE This objective of this study was to determine if reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex versus neostigmine results in a decreased number of hypoxic episodes in the early postoperative period in patients ...

Acidosis and Neuromuscular Blockade

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1974
The effect of different types of acidosis on sensitivity to neuromuscular blocking agents was studied in vivo on the tibialis muscle of cats and in vitro in the phrenic nerve diaphragm preparation of the rat. In vivo metabolic acidification was caused by diffusion of weak organic acids, which penetrate easily into the cell and imitate closely the state

Incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade and use of neuromuscular blocking agents with or without antagonists: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Journal of clinical anesthesia, 2020
OBJECTIVES Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) have revolutionized the field of anesthesiology as they facilitate airway management and ensure optimal surgical conditions.

Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1991
Intelligent, safe use of muscle relaxants dictates that the clinician monitor neuromuscular function in all patients to determine each patient's sensitivity to relaxants. Restoration of muscle strength is a function of pharmacological antagonism of residual NMB, spontaneous recovery as the concentration of relaxant declines at the neuromuscular ...

Sugammadex Versus Neostigmine for Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade in Patients With Severe Renal Impairment: A Randomized, Double-Blinded Study

Anesthesia and Analgesia
BACKGROUND: Sugammadex is not advised for patients with severe renal impairment, but has been shown in a variety of other populations to be superior to neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade.

Antagonism of Neuromuscular Blockade

Anesthesiology, 1976
Although acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are accepted antagonists of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade, many basic questions are still unanswered. What is the relationship between receptor occupancy and adequate ventilation? What are the effects of changes in acid-base balance and temperature?
