What is the treatment of phase II blockade?
Treatment of weakness attributed to
succinylcholine, regardless of its nature, is airway control and positive
pressure ventilation until adequate strength returns to the muscles of
respiration. Phase II block generally resolves spontaneously within 30–60
minutes. Some authors have noted an accelerated recovery from phase II block
when neostigmine or edrophonium have been administered. The response is not
predictable, and attention to clinical signs of neuromuscular strength must be
followed during this period.
