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

Neuromuscular monitoring and incidence of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade: a prospective observational study [PDF]
Journal of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Critical CareBackground Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are routinely used in anesthesia practice. An undetected, incomplete recovery of neuromuscular function at the end of surgery potentially exposes patients to clinical deterioration in the postoperative ...

Predictive study of pharmacological reversal for residual neuromuscular blockade and postoperative pulmonary complications: a prospective, observational, cohort study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 In recent years, some studies have generated controversy since they conclude that intraoperatively pharmacological reversal of neuromuscular blockade does not contribute to the reduction of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade or pulmonary ...

Usefulness of intra-operative neuromuscular blockade monitoring and reversal agents for postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade: a retrospective observational study [PDF]
BMC Anesthesiology, 2019 Background Complete avoidance of residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) during the postoperative period has not yet been achieved in current anesthesia practice.

The association between residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) and critical respiratory events: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Perioperative Medicine, 2021 Background Inadequate neuromuscular recovery might impair pulmonary function among adult patients who undergo general anaesthesia and might thus contribute to critical respiratory events in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU).

Intraoperative Monitoring of Neuromuscular Blockade
Life, 2023 There is a global trend of new guidelines highly recommending quantitative neuromuscular monitoring in the operating room. In fact, it is almost certain that quantitatively monitoring the depth of intraoperative muscle paralysis may permit the rational ...

Low dose of sugammadex versus neostigmine for reversal of rocuronium induced moderate neuromuscular block: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Residual neuromuscular blockade (rNMB) after surgery can lead to complications such as respiratory distress, increased length of hospital stay, and higher healthcare costs.

Impact of normalizing the acceleromyographic train-of-four ratio on detecting residual paralysis—a cohort study [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Quantitative monitoring is recommended to prevent residual postoperative neuromuscular blockade. Guidelines advocate a train-of-four ratio ≥ 0.90 before extubation.
