Postoperative residual curarization at the post-anesthetic care unit of a university hospital: A cross-sectional study

Conclusions A high prevalence of postoperative residual curarization persists in university hospitals, despite a reduced use of “long-lasting” neuromuscular blockers. Strategies to assure neuromuscular monitoring practice and access to therapeutic alternatives in this setting must be considered. Intraoperative neuromuscular blockers using algorithms and continued education in this field must be priorities within anesthesia services.
