Specific agents are injected intravenously to reverse general anesthesia
Is it true that specific agents are injected intravenously to reverse general anesthesia?
Yes. Specific pharmaceutical agents are administered intravenously to reverse the effects of anesthesia or neuromuscular blockade.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers provide clear evidence that specific reversal agents (such as atipamezole, sugammadex, neostigmine, flumazenil, and naloxone) are administered intravenously to reverse components of anesthesia and sedation, such as neuromuscular blockade or oversedation.
