Abstract
IntroductionFew studies have been made on the incidence of residual paralysis from non-depolarizing relaxants in people over 65 years old; however, estimating the number of cases and treatment thereof are both important. ObjectiveTo study the incidence of residual paralysis with non-depolarizing relaxants in patients over 65 years of age and discuss treatment. MethodologyAnalytical observational study based on a cohort design. ResultsThe 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. ConclusionsThe incidence of pre-extubation residual paralysis was lower than the figure published worldwide. Pharmacological reversal therapies were typically highly effective.
