Low-dose neostigmine to antagonise shallow atracurium neuromuscular block during inhalational anaesthesia: A randomised controlled trial.

TLDR
Under desflurane anaesthesia, neostigmine 10 &mgr;g kg−1 is effective in antagonising shallow atracurium block and the time to a TOF ratio more than 0.9 was shortened and neuromuscular recovery at 5 and 10”min was more advanced.
Abstract
BACKGROUNDEven shallow residual neuromuscular block [i.e. train-of-four (TOF) ratio around 0.6] is harmful. It can be effectively antagonised by small doses of neostigmine, but reports are limited to intravenous anaesthesia. Inhalational anaesthesia may enhance neuromuscular block and delay recovery

Current Status of Neuromuscular Reversal and Monitoring: Challenges and Opportunities.

TL;DR: Objective measurement (a train-of-four ratio greater than 0.90) is the only method to determine appropriate timing of tracheal extubation and ensure normal muscle function and patient safety.

Residual neuromuscular blockade: management and impact on postoperative pulmonary outcome.

TL;DR: There is convincing evidence in the literature that incomplete neuromuscular recovery may lead to a poor postoperative pulmonary outcome, and Sugammadex acts more rapidly and more predictably than neostigmine.

Comparison of Clinical Trial Changes in Primary Outcome and Reported Intervention Effect Size Between Trial Registration and Publication.

TL;DR: In this cross-sectional study that included 389 trials, 130 of them had at least 1 primary outcome change between registration and publication, which significantly overestimated the reported intervention effect size.

Qualitative Neuromuscular Monitoring: How to Optimize the Use of a Peripheral Nerve Stimulator to Reduce the Risk of Residual Neuromuscular Blockade

TL;DR: This review provides recommendations for anesthesia providers who may not yet have quantitative monitoring and sugammadex available and thus are providing care within the limitations of a conventional peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) and neostigmine.

Residual Paralysis: Does it Influence Outcome After Ambulatory Surgery?

TL;DR: The development and use of new selectively binding reversal agents (sugammadex and calabadion) warrants reevaluation of this area of clinical practice.

TL;DR: The set of guidelines for good clinical research practice (GCRP) in pharmacodynamic studies of neuromuscular blocking agents, which was developed following an international consensus conference in Copenhagen, has been revised and updated.

Residual neuromuscular blockade and critical respiratory events in the postanesthesia care unit

TL;DR: It is suggested that incomplete neuromuscular recovery is an important contributing factor in the development of adverse respiratory events in the PACU, which was absent in control patients without CREs.

Residual paralysis in the PACU after a single intubating dose of nondepolarizing muscle relaxant with an intermediate duration of action.

TL;DR: After a single dose of intermediate-duration muscle relaxant and no reversal, residual paralysis is common, even more than 2 h after the administration of muscle relaxants, as shown in patients enrolled in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Residual paralysis after emergence from anesthesia.

TL;DR: The data in the current literature on residual paralysis were obtained with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors as the only agents available to accelerate neuromuscular recovery, and assessment of practice in this regard is relevant now that sugammadex, a selective binding agent, has become available in certain parts of the world.

The predisposition to inspiratory upper airway collapse during partial neuromuscular blockade.

TL;DR: Assessment of supraglottic airway diameter and volume by respiratory-gated magnetic resonance imaging, upper airway dilator muscle function (genioglossus force and EMG), and changes in lung volume, respiratory timing, and peripheral muscle function before, during, and after partial neuromuscular blockade in healthy, awake volunteers concluded that impaired neuromUScular transmission markedly impairs upperAirway dimensions and function.
