Reversal with sugammadex may reduce the incidence of post-operative residual paralysis and consequent morbidity.
Although DBS is more sensitive than TOFC, manual assessment of DBS fade can only detect residual paralysis at TOF ratio < 0.7.
Post-operative residual paralysis is associated with a greater incidence of desaturation in the post-anaesthesia care unit.
Partial paralysis with TOFR < 0.9 causes pharyngeal dysfunction and misdirected swallowing, increasing the risk of aspiration.
Quantitative neuromuscular monitoring reduces the incidence of post-operative residual paralysis, desaturation and airway obstruction.
Intrathecal magnesium extends analgesic duration of spinal opioids.
Residual post-operative paralysis is as common in children as in adults after receiving neuromuscular blocking drugs.
Most anaesthetists and anesthesiologists incorrectly estimate the incidence of post-operative residual paralysis to be less than 1%.
After repeated rocuronium administration there is wide inter-patient variability in the time to recover muscle function.
There exists a wide range of inter-patient variability for modern, intermediate-duration muscle relaxants.
