Physicians base their decisions to antagonize neuromuscular blocking drugs on the pharmacological forecast and a qualitative judgment of the adequacy of the breathing pattern, according to a study ...

Neuromuscular blockade is an essential component of modern anaesthetic practice, enabling muscle relaxation during surgery and facilitating procedures such as tracheal intubation and minimally ...

Paralytic drugs, or neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), are powerful muscle relaxants used to prevent muscle movement during surgical procedures. They're also used during critical care, such as ...

Sugammadex effectively reverses neuromuscular blockade in myasthenia gravis patients, ensuring rapid recovery and minimal complications. The review of 24 studies with 1679 patients showed no ...

The decision to treat a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) with neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) (for reasons other than the placement of an endotracheal tube) is a difficult one that is ...

There are probably two adverse events related to prolonged paralysis following discontinuation of NMBAs. We define the first, "prolonged recovery from NMBAs," as an increase (after cessation of NMBA ...

Nearly half of drug-caused deaths by health care workers involved drugs that were obtained from their place of work, new research finds. Patients receiving neuromuscular blocking medications as part ...
