Innovative Disruption in the World of Neuromuscular Blockade: What Is the “State of the Art?”

Abstract

morbidity. The risks associated with NMBA could be almost completely eliminated if adequate neuromuscular function measured by a TOF ratio of greater than 0.90 was obtained before allowing emergence from anesthesia and tracheal extubation. Hence, neuromuscular function assessment with a PNS is mandatory whenever either depolarizing or nondepolarizing NMBAs are used to reduce risk of residual block.
