Incorrect monitoring settings can mimic residual neuromuscular blockade: A case report

JCA Advances
Sugammadex reliably reverses rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade by forming a 1:1 complex with rocuronium; however, incomplete or recurrent blockade can still occur.

Neuromuscular Weakness and Paralysis Produced by Snakebite Envenoming: Mechanisms and Proposed Standards for Clinical Assessment

Toxins, 2023
Respiratory and airway-protective muscle weakness caused by the blockade of neuromuscular transmission is a major cause of early mortality from snakebite envenoming (SBE).

Diaphragm ultrasonography as a monitor in assessing antagonistic effect of sugammadex on rocuronium in patients with Child-Pugh grades A and B

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundAlthough diaphragm ultrasound can be used for detecting residual neuromuscular blockade post-surgery, there exists notable dearth in contemporary research exploring the correlation between preoperative Child-Pugh classification and the ...

Is lower-dose sugammadex a cost-saving strategy for reversal of deep neuromuscular block? Facts and fiction

BMC Anesthesiology, 2018
Background Sugammadex, a γ-cyclodextrin derivative, belongs to a new class of selective relaxant binding agents. Sugammadex was approved 10-years ago by the European medicines agency and today is used in clinical anesthesia and emergency medicine ...

Mechanism-Based Modeling of Neuromuscular Monitoring Measures During General Anesthesia

IEEE Access
This study presents a mechanism-based model of neuromuscular transmission that incorporates the effects of Non-depolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers (NDNBs) used in general anesthesia. NDNBs act on acetylcholine receptors at both the pre- and post-synaptic

Dose–Response Evaluation of Sugammadex for Reversal of Deep Rocuronium-Induced Neuromuscular Block in Cats

Veterinary Sciences
Background: Sugammadex is a selective γ-cyclodextrin compound that encapsulates steroidal neuromuscular blocking agents such as rocuronium, allowing rapid and predictable recovery from neuromuscular block (NMB).

Monitoring neuromuscular blockade [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1987
Summary A simple and inexpensive force transducer made from a stainless steel table knife is described. Construction is straightforward and utilises strain gauges that are readily available. Amongst its attributes are lightness, ease of application, low sensitivity to postural changes and linearity over extended periods of time.

Comparison of the neuromuscular effects of two infusion rates of rocuronium in anesthetized pigs

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2022
Background: Neuromuscular blocking agents are frequently administered to pigs used for research. In humans, administration of the drugs is not without risk and may result in accidental awareness under general anaesthesia and postoperative residual ...

ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC MONITORING OF NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCK

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1981
Neuromuscular blocking agents are widely used in anaesthesia, and a simple quantitative method of monitoring their effects is desirable. This paper describes a new instrument which has been developed for electromyographic monitoring of neuromuscular block by a non-invasive technique which is both reliable and easy to use. The median nerve is stimulated
