In surgical anesthesia, anesthesiologists often combine many drugs to achieve good anesthesia for patients, including 3 indispensable drugs: anesthetics, pain relievers and muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants are drugs that cause paralysis of skeletal muscles, including respiratory muscles, with recovery to facilitate the anesthesia and surgery process. To avoid respiratory failure after anesthesia due to residual muscle relaxants, anesthesiologists can add antidotes to the muscle relaxants.

Muscle relaxants are commonly used during surgery under general anesthesia. The effects of muscle relaxants wear off after a period of time, depending on the half-life of the individual drug. However, there is still a risk of respiratory depression due to residual muscle relaxants in the body.

Abdominal surgery, especially laparoscopic surgery, is a minimally invasive technique that causes less pain for patients and significantly shortens hospital stays. In abdominal surgery, deep muscle relaxation anesthesia plays an extremely important role.
