Postoperative residual neuromuscular block: a survey of management

Abstract

During the last decade the incidence of residual neuromuscular block strongly decreased in our institution. It confirms the positive impact of neuromuscular monitoring and reversal of neuromuscular block in routine anaesthetic practice.

Emerging considerations in the reversal of neuromuscular blockade and residual block

“…(30) In order to avoid complications related to the use of muscle relaxants, precise assessment of neuromuscular transmission would be beneficial. (31,32) However, acceleromyography is not currently used routinely to determine a TOF ratio but remains primarily a tool for research. More conventional spot monitoring with TOF stimulation is unlikely to provide the clinician with an adequate assessment of peri-operative neuromuscular function.…”
