Residual paralysis after emergence from anesthesia.
SEVERAL studies have documented that neuromuscular block often persists in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), even with the administration of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The frequency of this phenomenon, which has been called “residual curarization,” “residual neuromuscular block,” “postoperative residual curarization,” or “residual paralysis,” ranges between 4 and 50% depending on the d...
متن کاملPostoperative residual paralysis.
Multiple searches were carried out in the PubMed database to identify articles with better methodological design, followed by critical evaluation of their contents and classification according to the strength of evidence. According to the recommendations of the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, literature systematic reviews and randomized clinical trials were preferred. Searches were c...
متن کاملProlonged residual paralysis after a single intubating dose of rocuronium.
It is often argued that neuromuscular monitoring is unnecessary when only one dose of an intermediate-acting neuromuscular blocking agent is given. This case report documents that it may take more than 3.5 h before it is possible to antagonize a block caused by a normal dose of rocuronium (0.6 mg kg(-1)). Possible causes of the extremely prolonged duration of action are discussed, as is the imp...
متن کاملResidual Paralysis: Does it Influence Outcome After Ambulatory Surgery?
Neuromuscular blocking agents are used to facilitate tracheal intubation in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. The use of high-dose neuromuscular blocking agents to achieve muscle paralysis throughout the case carries an increased risk of residual post-operative neuromuscular blockade, which is associated with increased respiratory morbidity. Visually monitoring the train-of-four (TOF) fad...
متن کاملMethylphenidate actively induces emergence from general anesthesia.
BACKGROUND Although accumulating evidence suggests that arousal pathways in the brain play important roles in emergence from general anesthesia, the roles of monoaminergic arousal circuits are unclear. In this study, the authors tested the hypothesis that methylphenidate (an inhibitor of dopamine and norepinephrine transporters) induces emergence from isoflurane general anesthesia. METHODS Us...
