چکیده

Prolonged neuromuscular blockade from succinylcholine after neostigmine administration has been reported in patients with frank renal failure. We present a case of prolonged neuromuscular blockade from succinylcholine administration, given 2 hours after neostigmine reversal of neuromuscular blockade in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency. This case shows that patients with chronic renal insufficiency, like patients with renal failure, are at risk for prolonged succinylcholine blockade if they have recently received anticholinesterase reversal of neuromuscular blockade. Administration of succinylcholine for facilitation of urgent endotracheal intubation may be required soon after reversal of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants, particularly in patients who return to the operating room for emergency care.

Early and late reversal of rocuronium and vecuronium with neostigmine in adults and children.

UNLABELLED We investigated the influence of the timing of neostigmine administration on recovery from rocuronium or vecuronium neuromuscular blockade. Eighty adults and 80 children were randomized to receive 0.45 mg/kg rocuronium or 0.075 mg/kg vecuronium during propofol/fentanyl/N2O anesthesia. Neuromuscular blockade was monitored by train-of-four (TOF) stimulation and adductor pollicis electr...

Failed reversal of neuromuscular blockade despite sugammadex: A case of undiagnosed pseudocholinesterase deficiency

The management of an undetected pseudocholinesterase deficiency in a parturient who underwent urgent cesarean section has been presented. After rapid sequence induction with succinylcholine, rocuronium was used for maintenance of neuromuscular block. At the end of the operation neostigmine was given to antagonize the residual block. Upon persistent prolonged neuromuscular blockade sugammadex wa...

Use of sugammadex in clinical practice

neostigmine), reverses neuromuscular blockade rapidly and effectively by encapsulating free circulating steroidal neuromuscular blocking agents (e.g., rocuronium) directly [1]. Moreover, sugammadex does not have muscarinic properties, whereas neostigmine has significant adverse muscarinic effects. Therefore, sugammadex is used in many countries as a new neuromuscular reversal agent to antagoniz...

We investigated the differences between males and females in the reversal effect of neostigmine on neuromuscular blockade. Thirty male and 30 female patients undergoing elective general anesthesia were studied. Vecuronium was given in all patients anesthetized with nitrous oxide, oxygen, and sevoflurane. After the surgical procedure, when T1 (1st response in train-of-four (TOF))/control returne...
