AUTHORS: Tassonyi E et al Anesth Analg. 2018 Dec;127(6):1344-1350. BACKGROUND: Certain surgical interventions may require a deep neuromuscular block (NMB). Reversal of such a block before tracheal extubation is challenging. Because anticholinesterases are ineffective in deepblock, sugammadex 4 mg/kg has been recommended for the reversal of rocuronium- or vecuronium-induced deep NMB. However, this recommendation requires opening 2 vials of 200 mg sugammadex, which results in an increase in drug costs. Therefore, […]
Read MoreAuthor: Michael Vlessides Anesthesiology News In orthopedic surgery patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), multimodal analgesia may significantly decrease postoperative opioid consumption and severe complications, according to an analysis by a team of New York City researchers. The study also revealed a stepwise relationship between the number of nonopioid analgesics used and the magnitude of […]
