Atracurium is associated with postoperative residual curarization [PDF]
Residual paralysis following the use of neuromuscular blocking drugs remains a clinical problem. As part of departmental quality assurance, we examined the degree of postoperative residual curarization (PORC) following atracurium.Forty patients undergoing general anaesthesia involving atracurium were studied.

Sugammadex and Ideal Body Weight in Bariatric Surgery
Background. The obese patients have differences in body composition, drug distribution, and metabolism. Sugammadex at recovery in a dose of 2 mg kg−1 of real body weight (RBW) can completely reverse the NMB block; in our study we investigated the safety
