Comparison of Postoperative Muscle Strength Recovery Between Cisatracurium and Rocuronium.

Background Neuromuscular blocking agents are crucial for anesthesia but can cause reversible paralysis, leading to risks like postoperative residual dysfunction. Undetected paralysis in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) jeopardizes patient safety by impairing airway function and increasing complications. Effective reversal, assessed clinically or via nerve stimulation, is critical to prevent residual postoperative curarization (RPOC), which is linked to significant morbidity and mortality.
