Sugammadex versus Neostigmine in Thyroidectomy
Sugammadex versus Neostigmine in Thyroidectomy Today, many operations require changes in the level of intraoperative neuromuscular blockade. Historically, the drug neostigmine has been used to reverse the neuromuscular blockade, even if it was risky and the speed of reversal was unsatisfactory. There are also several related problems caused by neostigmine including
