CHICAGO – The latest guidance in addressing proper monitoring and reversal of neuromuscular blockade drugs during general anesthesia – a major advance in patient safety and satisfaction – was ...

Perioperative anaphylaxis due to neuromuscular blocking agents occurred in roughly 58 per 100,000 administrations, with nearly 20% of cases associated with morbidity. Most patients recovered fully, ...

Neuromuscular blocking agents, or muscle relaxants, are often used in surgery to prevent muscles from moving when a patient is unconscious. A recent study found that the use of neuromuscular blockers ...

Nearly half of drug-caused deaths by health care workers involved drugs that were obtained from their place of work, new research finds. Patients receiving neuromuscular blocking medications as part ...

PHILADELPHIA -- A deeper neuromuscular block (NMB) facilitated laparoscopic surgery without having an effect on intraoperative safety and postoperative outcomes, according to a multicenter randomized ...

Sugammadex effectively reverses neuromuscular blockade in myasthenia gravis patients, ensuring rapid recovery and minimal complications. The review of 24 studies with 1679 patients showed no ...

Muscle relaxants are a necessary part of anesthesia during certain major operations. Studies have, however, hinted at respiratory risks connected with these drugs. A major new study has confirmed the ...

Baudax Bio, Inc. BXRX announced additional positive data from its phase II study of BX1000, which is used as a neuromuscular blockade (“NMB”) in patients undergoing elective surgery. The efficacy of ...
