Post-operative urinary retention is impacted by neuromuscular block reversal agent choice: A retrospective cohort study in US hospital setting.

Link: https://doi.org/S0952-8180(23)00294-5 Authors: Bash, Lori D; Turzhitsky, Vladimir; Mark, Robert J; Hofer, Ira S; Weingarten, Toby N Abstract: Perioperative neuromuscular blocking agents are pharmacologically reversed to minimize complications associated with residual neuromuscular block. Neuromuscular block reversal with anticholinesterases (e.g., neostigmine) require coadministration of an anticholinergic agent (e.g., glycopyrrolate) to mitigate muscarinic activity; however, sugammadex, devoid…

Validation of a convolutional neural network that reliably identifies electromyographic compound motor action potentials following train-of-four stimulation: an algorithm development experimental study.

Link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bjao.2023.100236 Authors: Epstein, Richard H; Perez, Olivia F; Hofer, Ira S; Renew, J Ross; Brull, Sorin J; Nemes, Réka Abstract: International guidelines recommend quantitative neuromuscular monitoring when administering neuromuscular blocking agents. The train-of-four count is important for determining the depth of block and appropriate reversal agents and doses. However, identifying valid compound motor action…
