Background.
Neuromuscular blockade is a risk factor for postoperative respiratory weakness during the immediate postoperative period.
The quantitative relationships between postoperative pulmonary-function impairment and residual neuromuscular blockade are unknown.
Methods.
113 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in this study.
They all had a pulmonary-function test (PFT) during the preoperative evaluation.
Predictive values based on demographic data were also recorded.
The train-of-four ratio (TOFR) was recorded at the same time as the PFT and at every 5 minutes in the qualified 98 patients in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU).
We analyzed the degree of PFT recovery when the TOFR had recovered to different degrees.
Results.
There was a significant difference (P<0.05) between the preoperative baseline value and the postoperative forced vital capacity at each TOFR point, except at a TOFR value of 1.1.
There was also a significant difference (P<0.05) between the preoperative baseline value and the postoperative peak expiratory flow at each TOFR point.
Conclusions.
Postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade was common (75.51%) after tracheal extubation, and pulmonary function could not recover to an acceptable level (85% of baseline value), even if TOFR had recovered to 0.90.
Trial Registration.
Chinese Clinical Trial Register is ChiCTR-OOC-15005838.
