Description
Ni Zhu and Yongli Li reply to a letter about their review of two drugs that reverse muscle relaxants after anesthesia. Their meta-analysis had favored sugammadex over neostigmine for faster, fuller recovery, but a correspondent questioned pooling such varied studies. Time outcomes differed across surgical settings and protocols, which the authors accept as high heterogeneity.
Still, the effects pointed one way, and standardized measures handled the differing time units. Factors never reported, like hypnotic depth, could not be analyzed, and slips will be corrected. The exchange models open public debate: doctors see both the claim and its limits in one place, and the conclusion stands with caveats stated plainly.
