Muscle relaxant antagonists (MRA) are antagonists of skeletal muscle relaxants (SMR), which are mainly divided into anticholinesterase agents, such as neostigmine and pyridostigmine, K+ channel blockers and specific antagonists of amino-steroid non-depolarizing SMR (sugammadex). Muscle relaxation monitoring refers to continuous monitoring of degree of muscle relaxation, which can objectively reflecting growth and decline process of effect of SMR. With widespread use of SMR in clinical practice, effects of residual blockade of muscle relaxants (RBMR) have attracted more and more attention from anesthesiologists. RBMR may lead to delayed recovery from anesthesia, hypopnea, hypoxia, asphyxia, and even death in children during anesthesia recovery. Combined use of MRA and muscle relaxation monitoring during perioperative period can effectively prevent occurrence of postoperative RBMR in children during anesthesia recovery. Considering poor tolerance of hypoxia in children, RBMR is more harmful to children during anesthesia recovery and may lead to more adverse reactions than those to adults. Therefore, how to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions of postoperative RBMR to children during anesthesia recovery is one of the important issues that anesthesiologists need to pay attention to and solve. The author intends to describe pharmacological characteristics of MRA and the latest research progress in application of intraoperative muscle relaxation monitoring in pediatric anesthesia.
