[Algorithm-based preventive strategies for avoidance of residual neuromuscular blocks].

CONCLUSION: The algorithm-based concept of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring and pharmacological reversal using neostigmine and sugammadex enables residual neuromuscular block to be treated within 10 min before extubation of the patient. Ongoing educational programs are essential for implementation of modern muscle relaxant management concepts. Quantitative neuromuscular monitoring should be mandatory for all patients receiving neuromuscular blocking drugs. It would be desirable that German-speaking societies for anesthesiology make appropriate recommendations in guidelines. PMID: 31650189 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
