Abstract:
Considering the increasing use of sugammadex worldwide, we acknowledge the need to warn the medical community that the risk of recurarization is high in many parts of the world. We call for clinical attention to prevent recurarization, anaphylactic reactions, and other postoperative complications associated with using muscle relaxants and their antagonists based on neuromuscular monitoring.
