Peri‐operative hypersensitivity reactions to neuromuscular blocking drugs in New Zealand 2013–2019: a retrospective observational study
We found a significant difference between the rates of peri-operative hypersensitivity reactions with rocuronium and suxamethonium vs. atracurium. The increased risk of a peri-operative hypersensitivity reaction is a factor that should be weighed against the benefits of using suxamethonium or rocuronium. Females may be higher risk than males of reacting to neuromuscular blocking drugs.
