The Effects of Postoperative Residual Neuromuscular Blockade on Hospital Costs and Intensive Care Unit Admission: A Population-Based Cohort Study

BACKGROUND: Postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade continues to be a frequent occurrence with a reported incidence rate of up to 64%. However, the effect of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade on health care utilization remains unclear. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the effects of postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade on hospital costs (primary outcome), intensive care unit admission rate, and hospital length of stay (secondary outcomes). METHODS: We performed a prespecified secondary analysis of data obtained in 2233 adult patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade was defined as a train-of-four ratio
