Context: Residual neuromuscular blockade still presents despite the use of intermediate duration muscle relaxants and is a risk factor for postoperative morbidity.

Objective: To determine the incidence of incomplete postoperative neuromuscular recovery from anaesthesia in a postanaesthesia care unit.

Design: Multicentre observational study.

- Manuela Canas’ research primarily focuses on the impacts and implications of residual neuromuscular blockade in the context of postoperative care and anaesthesia recovery.
- In her 2013 study published in the *European Journal of Anaesthesiology*, Canas conducted a multicentre observational study to assess the incidence of incomplete neuromuscular recovery in patients after anaesthesia in postanaesthesia care units in Portugal.
- The findings emphasized that residual neuromuscular blockade remains a significant risk factor for postoperative morbidity, highlighting the need for improved protocols and monitoring to ensure complete recovery from neuromuscular blockers.
