Incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade and use of neuromuscular blocking agents with or without antagonists: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

•Residual neuromuscular blockade (rNMB) is an undesired event and is associated with poor post-operative outcomes•The combination of rocuronium or vecuronium plus sugammadex had the lowest incidence of rNMB in moderate and deep block•Reversal of rocuronium or vecuronium by sugammadex is more rapid and effective than reversal with neostigmine
