First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study from Mayo Clinic looked at 97 liver transplant patients to see how often they had lasting muscle weakness after surgery when given sugammadex, a drug to reverse anesthesia. Researchers used a device called TetraGraph to measure muscle response. The goal was to estimate the frequency of residual weakness and its impact on recovery.
