Abstract

Early use of neuromuscular blockers agents (NMBAs) in moderate-severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has previously been associated with a mortality decrease in the ACURASYS trial in 2010. However, the recently published ROSE study (Reevaluation of Systemic Early Neuromuscular Blockade) points out the disagreement with this practice.
