ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Few studies have been made on the incidence of residual paralysis from nondepolarizing relaxants in people over 65 years old; however, estimating the number of cases and treatment thereof are both important.Objective:
To study the incidence of residual paralysis with non-depolarizing relaxants in patients over 65 years of age and discuss treatment.Methodology:
Analytical observational study based on a cohort design.Results:
The pre-extubation residual paralysis was estimated at 23.2% and at 9.2% at patient admission to the Recovery Suite. Pharmacological reversal showed 89.4% and 100% success rates with Neostigmine and Sugammadex respectively, with similar times at T4/T1 >0.9.Conclusions:
The incidence of pre-extubation residual paralysis was lower than the figure published worldwide. Pharmacological reversal therapies were typically highly effective.
