Factors that affect the onset of action of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents [PDF]
Neuromuscular blockade plays an important role in the safe management of patient airways, surgical field improvement, and respiratory care. Rapid-sequence induction of anesthesia is indispensable to emergency surgery and obstetric anesthesia, and its ...

Delayed-Onset Malignant Hyperthermia in Association with Rocuronium Use [PDF]
Purpose Two cases of malignant hyperthermia suspected to be related to the use of a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker are reported. Summary A pharmacogenetic disorder that may occur in as many as 1 in 3000 anesthesia procedures, malignant ...

Key Clinical Message Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a genetic disorder in which catecholamine release during exercise or emotional stress cause fatal tachyarrhythmias. In this paper, we discuss methods to minimize the sympathetic stimulation that can occur during the perioperative period in patients undergoing left ...

Sugammadex for reversal of neuromuscular blockade: A retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness in a single center [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical and economic impact of introducing a rocuronium-neostigmine-sugammadex strategy into a cisatracurium-neostigmine regimen for neuromuscular block (NMB) management.
