Abstract:BackgroundAge‐related differences in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) and the short duration of many surgical procedures put pediatric patients at risk of postoperative residual curarization (PORC). To date, the duration of neuromuscular blocking agent effect in children has not been analyzed in a quantitative review. The current meta‐analysis aimed to compare spontaneous recovery following administration of various types and doses of neuromuscular blocking age… Show more
