Systematic Review (n=998)
Does deep neuromuscular blockade improve surgical conditions in patients undergoing abdominal and gynaecological surgery?
Deep neuromuscular blockade improves surgical conditions in certain laparoscopic procedures, while moderate NMB may optimize conditions in specific open abdominal surgeries.
Staehr-Rye et al. (2014) conducted a systematic review in Abdominal and gynaecological surgery (n=998). Deep neuromuscular blockade vs. Moderate neuromuscular blockade or no blockade was evaluated on Optimised surgical conditions. Deep neuromuscular blockade, compared with moderate blockade, optimized surgical conditions during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hysterectomy, and nephrectomy/prostatectomy.
