Symptoms: Overdosage with neuromuscular blocking agents may result in neuromuscular block beyond the time needed for surgery and anesthesia.
Treatment: The primary treatment is maintenance of an airway and controlled ventilation until recovery of normal neuromuscular function is assured. Once recovery from neuromuscular block begins, further recovery may be facilitated by administration of an anticholinesterase agent (e.g. neostigmine) in conjunction with an appropriate anticholinergic agent.
