Sugammadex versus neostigmine for neuromuscular blockade reversal in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

European journal of anaesthesiology·November 3, 2026·PMID 42973066

Why it matters

Reversal of neuromuscular blockade is a routine part of general anesthesia, and the choice of reversal agent affects recovery quality and perioperative safety. With sugammadex costs declining, this updated evidence supports its broader use to reduce residual blockade and associated complications.
