Sugammadex for Neuromuscular Blockade Reversal
Postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade is associated with an increased risk of respiratory insufficiency, aspiration, and potential pulmonary complications. The standard of care for reversal of residual block centers on anticholinesterases such as neostigmine. However, these medications provide inconsistent or inadequate effect while being associated with potentially severe adverse effects. Sugammadex, a modified γ-cyclodextrine compound, is a recently approved agent for the reversal of blockade with aminosterodial neuromuscular blockers. Randomized controlled trials, in addition to a meta-analysis and a systematic...

Orbital Floor Fractures
The orbital bones are thin and exposed, making the orbital walls vulnerable to fractures. The floor of the orbit is the weakest portion of this 4-sided pyramid structure. Blunt force trauma is the primary mechanism of injury in young men between the ages of 18 and 30 years. Computerized tomography is the primary imaging technique to diagnose orbital fractures. Conservative versus surgical management is determined by maxillofacial and ophthalmology specialists. (Source: Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal)
