Abstract
This study documents that incidence of major PACU complications after non-cardiac surgery was 2.1%, with the most frequent complications being re-intubation and ICU admission. Patients receiving NMBA reversal were at a lower risk of re-intubation and unplanned ICU admission, justifying routine use of reversals. Complete NMBA reversals are crucial in reducing preventable patient harm and healthcare utilization.
