May support edrophonium 0.3 mg/kg for mivacurium recovery; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does edrophonium accelerate recovery from mivacurium-induced neuromuscular blockade in adult patients?
Edrophonium at doses ≥0.3 mg/kg accelerates recovery from mivacurium-induced neuromuscular blockade by approximately 7-8 minutes when administered at a threshold TOF count of 4.
Kopman et al. (1994) studied this question.
