Background: The nature of antidepressants and their adverse effects should be considered when treating severe depression in individuals with psychotic symptoms. Antidepressant prescription rates have risen steadily over the last 30 years, affecting people of all ages. Aim: The goal of this study was to see if depression and antidepressant usage were linked to long-term changes in cognitive function and cardiovascular health. Methodology: Meta-analysis was performed using PRISMA guidelines along with using the SPIDER search framework using related keywords on different search engines i.e. Google scholars, PubMed, Scopus, ISI, etc. Total (n=2256) papers were obtained and assessed for eligibility. Altogether 15 studies were included using databases and other methods. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale examined the grades provided by the data after numerous screenings. Result: A distinct link was found between antidepressants with cognitive performance and the cardiovascular system. Dementia and hypertension were prevailing long-term effects caused by frequent use of antidepressants in chronic and mild depression.

Aim. The neuromuscular blocker has long been used during surgical procedures. The neuromuscular blockade produced by rocuronium can be reversed with sugammadex and neostigmine as reversal agents. This systematic review aims to determine the impact of sugammadex and neostigmine comparison as a reversal agent of rocuronium for pediatric patients 2-12 years old going for surgery under general anesthesia. Materials and Methods. This review examined recent studies assessing the impact of sugammadex and neostigmine comparison as a reversal agent of rocuronium for pediatric patients 2-12 years old going for surgery under general anesthesia. Data were searched from Google Scholar, PubMed, Hindawi, Anesthesiology, MEDLINE, and CENTRAL using keywords’ General Anesthesia,’ ‘Reversal Agent,’ ‘Rocuronium for Pediatric Patients,’ ‘Neuromuscular Blockers,’ ‘Sugammadex and Neostigmine,’ ‘Role of Analgesics.’ The review followed PRISMA guidelines. Results. The initial search for publications comparing sugammadex and neostigmine as a reversal agent of rocuronium for pediatric patients yielded 9000 papers, from which 600 were selected. The reviews’ articles were further analyzed to ensure they were pertinent to the Comparative Impact of Reversal Agents (Sugammadex And Neostigmine) of Rocuronium for Pediatric Patients. Around 319 references were examined for their potential applicability to the medical field of anesthesia. A total of 15 articles were included, with preference given to those published from 2014 to 2023 during the last ten years. Conclusion. The particular relaxant-binding medication promptly and successfully alleviates rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in pediatric surgery patients. Considering the study’s outcomes, it can be concluded that sugammadex may restore any level of steroidal muscle relaxant-induced neuromuscular block faster than neostigmine.
