    AbstractNeuromuscular monitoring and routine use of reversal agents are key elements in the prevention of residual paralysis. According to a nation-wide survey up to 52 % of anaesthesiologists in France apply regularly neuromuscular monitoring after a single intubating dose of a neuromuscular blocking agent and 74 % in case of repetitive administration. However, reversal is rather the exception than routine and, still according to this survey, the risk of residual paralysis largely underestimated. The development of a new class of reversal agents (cyclodextrins) may further modify the management of neuromuscular blockade in clinical practice. The article aims to revise the principles of neuromuscular monitoring and evaluate whether its use is still mandatory when sugammadex is used.
