Neuromuscular Blockade Depth and Oculocardiac Reflex in Pediatric Strabismus Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Anesthesiology·July 15, 2026·PMID 42461097
Why it mattersThe oculocardiac reflex is a common and potentially serious complication during strabismus surgery. This study provides prospective evidence that deeper neuromuscular blockade can reduce both the incidence and severity of OCR, offering anesthesiologists a modifiable intraoperative strategy to enhance patient safety.
