Geoffrey’s cardiovascular function improves, and he starts following a healthier lifestyle. After a couple of years, his daughter takes him to the hospital for a surgical procedure requiring mechanical.ventilation. To facilitate this, his doctor plans to use a non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker, with an appropriate reversal agent thereafter. The surgery goes well, however, Geoffrey experiences facial flushing, and starts complaining of breathing difficulties thereafter. His doctor diagnoses him with non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema due to the reversal agent, and decides to use furosemide to treat it. Based on the procedure and clinical outcomes, i) suggest which non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker was used and explain your reasoning, ii) explain how the non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker would facilitate mechanical ventilation by referring to physiological processes, iii) explain whether the reversal agent may cause peripheral or central side effects with at least one associated side effect other than already mentioned, and iv) explain how furosemide would treat his pulmonary oedema.
