Use of neuromuscular blockers in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2015
The objective of this study was to evaluate how Brazilian anesthesiologists are using neuromuscular blockers, focusing on how they establish the diagnosis of postoperative residual curarization and the incidence of complications associated with the use ...

Neuromuscular blockers in the acute respiratory distress syndrome: A meta-analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundThe effects of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) on adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remain unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate its effect on mortality ...

Total intravenous anesthesia without neuromuscular blockers for ureteral lithotripsy in an ALS patient with orthopnea: a case report [PDF]

BMC Anesthesiology
Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) rarely need urological surgery. This case report describes the successful use of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and remifentanil combined with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) ventilation in

The Use of Cisatracurium in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]

Turkish Journal of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation
The introduction of neuromuscular blockers (NMBs) has revolutionized the practice of general anaesthesia, ushering in a new era where anaesthesia is conceptualized as a triad comprising narcosis, analgesia, and muscle relaxation.

Structural interplay of anesthetics and paralytics on muscle nicotinic receptors

Nature Communications, 2023
General anesthetics and neuromuscular blockers are used together during surgery to stabilize patients in an unconscious state. Anesthetics act mainly by potentiating inhibitory ion channels and inhibiting excitatory ion channels, with the net effect of ...

Residual neuromuscular blockade and late neuromuscular blockade at the post-anesthetic recovery unit: prospective cohort study

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2021
Introduction and objectives: The use of neuromuscular blockers during surgery represented a landmark for anesthesiology. However, their use can prompt residual Neuromuscular Blockade (RNMB) and objective monitoring of neuromuscular function is crucial to
