Mapping the current evidence on the anesthetic management of adult patients with neuromuscular disorders-a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are at increased risk of perioperative complications. The objective of this scoping review was to examine emerging evidence from published studies, case reports, and review articles on anesthetic management of patients with NMDs, following the methodological frame for scoping reviews.

Sources

We searched PubMed and EMBASE for articles published between 1 January 2000 and 14 July 2021.

Principal findings

Three prospective and 21 retrospective studies on altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) in NMD patients were included.
