Residual Paralysis: Does it Influence Outcome After Ambulatory Surgery? [PDF]
Neuromuscular blocking agents are used to facilitate tracheal intubation in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. The use of high-dose neuromuscular blocking agents to achieve muscle paralysis throughout the case carries an increased risk of residual post-operative neuromuscular blockade, which is associated with increased respiratory morbidity ...

Hamstring transfer for quadriceps paralysis in post polio residual paralysis. [PDF]
Paralysis of quadriceps muscle leads to severe disability as the knee is unstable and cannot be fully extended and locked in extension, which results in giving way of the knee joint. Because of this, the patient tries to get stability of the knee by various means like hand to knee gait, extreme internal or external rotation of the affected limb to ...

Residual paralysis caused by 50 mg rocuronium after reversal with 4 mg/kg sugammadex: a case report. [PDF]
Background Rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade can be quickly and completely reversed by administration of an optimal dose of sugammadex. Sugammadex antagonizes rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade by encapsulating rocuronium.

Postoperative Residual Neuromuscular Paralysis at an Australian Tertiary Children’s Hospital
Purpose. Residual neuromuscular blockade (RNMB) is known to be a significant but frequently overlooked complication after the use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA). Aim of this prospective audit was to investigate the incidence and severity of RNMB

Effect of sugammadex titration versus manufacturer's recommendation for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block: a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. [PDF]
Background Both under-dosing and over-dosing of sugammadex for reversing neuromuscular block pose risks to patients, yet the optimal dosage for different degrees of neuromuscular block remains undefined. This study compared titration with single bolus of

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

Massive Prepatellar Bursitis in Post-Polio Residual Paralysis: A Case Report
We report a case of post-polio residual paralysis, an eighteen-year old girl who was ambulatory on all four limbs and presented to us with a massive pre-patellar bursitis on her left knee.
