Antagonism of Neostigmine in Continuous Infusion of Mivacurium

April 6, 2026 updated by: Beijing Tongren Hospital

Antagonism of Neostigmine in Continuous Infusion of Mivacurium: a Randomised Controlled Trial

In this study, the antagonism of neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, on continuous infusion of mivacurium during foot and ankle surgery under general anesthesia was investigated, and the appropriate time point of antagonism was explored.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Mivacurium is currently the shortest-acting benzylisoquinoline nondepolarizing muscular relaxant in clinical practice, which is suitable for short surgery. Its continuous infusion can also be used in medium-term surgery with uncertain operation time, which can accelerate the recovery of postoperative muscle relaxation. Whether continuous infusion of mivacurium requires antagonism and the appropriate time point of antagonism is controversial.
