Patients in group A recovered faster from initial bolus dose from
neuromuscular blockade compared to group V.
Cisatracurium-induced
neuromuscular blockade is affected by chronic phenytoin or carbamazepine treatment in neurosurgical patients.

Sugammadex has recently entered anaesthetic practice and is an agent that very rapidly and reliably reverses
neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium and vecuronium.
Sugammadex, a selective reversa lmedication for preventing postoperative residual
neuromuscular blockade. Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2009; 7(4): CD007362.
Prior to
neuromuscular blockade, the CEEG was interpreted as continuous slowing or burst suppression (n = 11; Table 2).
This study proves that sugammadex is faster in reversing rocuronium-induced
Neuromuscular Blockade compared to neostigmine [6].
The risk of mortality was 4.17-fold higher for patients submitted to continuous
neuromuscular blockade and 6.66-fold higher for patients with dysautonomia.
[5] Four supramaximal stimuli were given before the injection of
neuromuscular blockade and followed by every 30 s after the drug has been administered.
Since an anticholinesterase agent is used in anesthesiology practice to induce recovery of patients from
neuromuscular blockade and, since blockers of [A.sub.2A] receptors are efficient to reduce the fades caused by cisatracurium when this agent is not causing drastic level of fades (Pereira et al., 2012), it is supposed that atropine is useful for initial recovery of patients from
neuromuscular blockade caused by cisatracurium.
