In this interprofessional activity, expert faculty will use patient cases to discuss the clinical effects of neuromuscular blocking and reversal agents, including key components of NMB and reversal during the intraoperative phase of care and neuromuscular monitoring. Criteria for use, dosing of specific reversal agents and assessment of risk factors and mitigation of post-operative complications will also be discussed.
