Effects of deep neuromuscular block on surgical workspace conditions in laparoscopic bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

CONCLUSIONS: It was found that dNMB helps improve surgical space conditions in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery whereas it fails to shorten procedure duration. More high-quality large-sampled RCTs are needed to confirm these results. The relationship between dNMB use and other clinical outcomes, such as complications occurrence, needs to be further investigated. PMID: 32251573 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
