Clinical Patterns of Rocuronium and Cisatracurium Use in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Distinct NMB use patterns in ARDS reflect bedside clinical judgment rather than predefined thresholds. Patient trajectory and dyssynchrony severity appear to drive NMBA escalation decisions more than oxygenation indices alone. These findings highlight the need for prospective studies defining standardized criteria for NMB initiation, escalation, and weaning in ARDS.
