7: How do you reverse neuromuscular blockade? - Part 1 of 2

We investigate claims about reversal of neuromuscular blockade.

Claim 1. Location of train-of-four assessment matters

Claim 2. Train-of-four is unnecessary with "sufficient" time from the last dose

Claim 3. Fade can be discriminated by tactile assessment

Our guest today is Dr. Daniel Saddawi-Konefka of the Massachusetts General Hospital.
