Residual neuromuscular blockade: management and impact on postoperative pulmonary outcome.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To revise the current literature on concepts for neuromuscular block management. Moreover, consequences of incomplete neuromuscular recovery on patients' postoperative pulmonary outcome are evaluated as well. RECENT FINDINGS The incidence of residual paralysis may be as high as 70% and even small degrees of residual paralysis may have clinical consequences. Neostigmine shoul...
متن کاملFade of pulmonary function during residual neuromuscular blockade.
OBJECTIVES A decrement in evoked muscle force with repetitive nerve stimulation (fade) suggests impaired neuromuscular transmission. We tested the hypothesis that fade of pulmonary function, ie, a decrease in values of FVC with the second spirometric maneuver compared to the first maneuver, occurs during impaired neuromuscular transmission. DESIGN Prospective study. PARTICIPANTS Six healthy...
متن کاملResidual neuromuscular blockade in critical care.
Neuromuscular blockade is a pharmacological adjunct for anesthesia and for surgical interventions. Neuromuscular blockers can facilitate ease of instrumentation and reduce complications associated with intubation. An undesirable sequela of these agents is residual neuromuscular blockade. Residual neuromuscular blockade is linked to aspiration, diminished response to hypoxia, and obstruction of ...
متن کاملResidual neuromuscular blockade and upper airway muscles.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and respond to the letter to the editor by Culp, Brewster, and Wernicki, in response to our review article. We thank the authors for their complimentary remarks. We are also pleased that they chose to respond and emphasize the need for prevention and rescue of drowning persons to further improve the survival rate from this disaster. They make the point th...
متن کاملResidual neuromuscular blockade: a persistent clinical problem.
In the classic study of deaths associated with anesthesia and surgery, Beecher and Todd in 1954 reported a 6-fold increase in the death rate of patients undergoing general anesthesia when ‘‘curare’’ was used compared with anesthesia without neuromuscular blockade (NMB). Their study must be viewed in the context of the initial use of neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) (curare) with volatile an...
