The article presents a case study of prolonged muscle relaxation after vecuronium in an anesthesized dog. It reports on the failure of administration of intravenous edrophonium to complete the reversal of prolonged vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. It discusses several factors affecting...

Evaluation of the degree of neuromuscular blockade by the surgeon using clinical criteria alone is unreliable. We report a case of prolonged neuromuscular blockade lasting 5.5 h, where an additional intra-operative dose of neuromuscular relaxant was given at the request of the surgical team....
