Abstract
Purpose of Review
To define the incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade (rNMB) and identify patients at risk.
Recent Findings
Incidence of rNMB continues to be high, and risk factors are complex and difficult to predict. Sequelae of rNMB, however, are significant.
Summary
Despite literature describing the significance of rNMB on patient safety, the incidence continues to be high, and risk factors are difficult to predict. Patient, anesthetic, and surgical risk factors all contribute, and an understanding of the unique risks for each individual patient is required to properly prevent rNMB.
