Does severe residual neuromuscular blockade contribute to critical respiratory events in patients in the PACU?

Critical Respiratory Events (CREs) / adverse respiratory eventssafety
Incomplete neuromuscular recovery is an important contributing factor to adverse respiratory events in the postanesthesia care unit.
A high incidence of severe residual blockade was observed in patients with CREs, which was absent in control patients without CREs. These findings suggest that incomplete neuromuscular recovery is an important contributing factor in the development of adverse respiratory events in the PACU.
