Effect of doxapram on the rate of recovery from atracurium and vecuronium neuromuscular block.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affects ~9-24% of the general population, and 90% remain undiagnosed. Those patients with undiagnosed moderate-to-severe OSA may be associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications. Our objective was to evaluate the proportion of surgical patients with undiagnos...
