Abstract

Residual neuromuscular blockade contributes to postoperative morbidity and mortality and is more prevalent with long acting nondepolarising neuromuscular blocking drugs such as pancuronium [1]. Reducing time between surgery and extubation may lead to residual neuromuscular blockade in cardiac patients, particularly with long acting drugs [2]. We performed an audit of use of neuromuscular blocking drugs in the United Kingdom between 2002 and 2004.
