Atrio-ventricular Block Following Neostigmine-Glycopyrrolate Reversal in Non-heart Transplant Patients: Case Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Neostigmine is the anticholinesterase drug most commonly used to reverse blockade or speed up recovery from neuromuscular blockade from nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs. Because of its cardiac muscarinic effects, prior or simultaneous administration of glycopyrrolate or atropine is usually recommended. There have been a few case reports of bradycardia, atrio-ventricular (AV) block, and cardiac arrest following neostigmine/glycopyrrolate administration to reverse neuromuscular block affecting several patients. In this report, we describe a case of 21-year-old with a history of seizure disorder and developmental delay that presented for dental surgery under general anesthesia and developed type I AV block following the simultaneous administration of neostigmine and glycopyrrolate to reverse a nondepolarizing neuromuscular block with rocuronium at the end of his surgery. We suggest that the chronic use of antiepileptic drugs in this patient in combination with neostigmine and glycopyrrolate lead to AV block in this patient. We also review similar cases reported in the literature and suggest an explanation for this observed phenomenon.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
