SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: In our study, we aimed to compare the effect of standard rapid sequence intubation protocol and the application of rocuronium priming technique on the procedure time and hemodynamic profile. METHODS: Patients who applied to the emergency department and needed rapid sequence intubation were included in our study, which we conducted with a randomized controlled design. Randomization in the study was made according to the order of arrival of the cases. Rapid sequence intubation was performed in the standard group. In the priming group, 10% of the rocuronium dose was administered approximately 3 min before the induction agent. Intubation time, amount of drug used, vital signs, and end-tidal CO2 level before and after intubation used to confirm intubation were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 52 patients were included in the study, of which 26 patients were included in the standard group and 26 patients in the priming group. While intubation time was 121.2±21.9 s in the standard group, it was calculated as 68.4±11.6 s in the priming group (p<0.001). While the mean arterial pressure was 58.3±26.6 mmHg in the standard group after intubation, it was 80.6±21.1 mmHg in the priming group (p=0.002). CONCLUSION: It was observed that priming with rocuronium shortened the intubation time and preserved the hemodynamic profile better. Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT05343702.

Resumen: Uno de los efectos adversos más importantes de los neurolépticos es la posibilidad de desencadenar el síndrome neuroléptico maligno (NMS). El diagnóstico se determina por exclusión y el manejo terapéutico inicial será retirado por neurolépticos por la administración de benzodiacepinas y, en casos extremos, el uso de la terapia electroconvulsiva (ECT). La ECT es una opción terapéutica eficaz en estos pacientes y en esos casos se obtiene una mala respuesta a la administración con fármacos antipsicóticos. Basándonos en el caso del artículo «Rocuronium-sugammadex for electroconvulsive therapy management in neuroleptic malignant síndrome. A case report¼ donde se describe el manejo exitoso del uso de relajantes no despolarizantes y su reversor específico en terapias electroconvulsivas en pacientes diagnosticados de síndrome neuroléptico maligno, comentamos la fisiopatología e implicaciones anestésicas además de similitudes con otras entidades hipertérmicas, como es la hipertermia maligna.
Abstract: One of the most important adverse effects of neuroleptics is the possibility of triggering neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). The diagnosis is determined by exclusion and the initial therapeutic management will be withdrawn by neuroleptics by the administration of benzodiazepines and, in extreme cases, the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). ECT is an effective therapeutic option in these patients and in these cases a poor response to administration with antipsychotic drugs is obtained. Based on the case of the article «Rocuronium-sugammadex for the management of electroconvulsive therapy in neuroleptic malignant syndrome. A case report¼ where the successful management of the use of non-depolarizing relaxants and their specific reversal in electroconvulsive therapies in patients diagnosed with of malignant neuroleptic syndrome, we comment on the pathophysiology and anesthetic images as well as similarities with other hyperthermic entities, such as malignant hyperthermia.

Objective:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.Methods:One hundred and four pediatric patients of either sex, aged 3-36 months, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, diagnosed with oblique inguinal hernia and/or hydrocele, scheduled for laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac and/or high ligation of sphingoid surgery, were included in the study. Intraoperative neuromuscle relaxation was assessed by transdermal stimulation of the ulnar nerve in the wrist using a TOF Guard monitor. Rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg, propofol 3 mg/kg, and sufentanyl 0.5 μg/kg were intravenously injected for anesthesia induction, and propofol 6-8 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused to maintain anesthesia. The pediatric patients were divided into Ⅰgroup and Ⅱ group according to the degree of postoperative neuromuscular block. In group Ⅰ, sugammadex 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected when TOF returned to T 2 recurrence. In group Ⅱ, sugammadex 4 mg/kg was intravenously injected when the single stimulation count was 1 or 2 after tetanic stimulation. At 2 and 10 min after rocuronium administration, at the end of operation, 2 and 10 min after sugammadex administration, and when the children met the standard of leaving the resuscitation room, venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma concentrations of rocuronium and sugammadex using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using the Pheonix WinNonlin software. The onset of rocuronium and time for recovery of TOF ratio to 90% were recorded. Results:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex was fitted to the nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model.There was no significant difference in the peak concentration, area under the drug concentration-time curve, elimination half-life, apparent clearance, apparent volume of distribution, mean retention time, and time for TOF ratio returning to 90% between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual is fitted to a nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model, and sugammadex 2 and 4 mg/kg have similar pharmacokinetics in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.

Background: Succinylcholine has been the main neuromuscular blocking agent for the endotracheal intubation in rapid sequence induction with some adverse effects. This study was conducted to find a better alternate drug with minimal adverse effects and easy for intubations. Thus, our study aimed to compare the onset time, duration of action, intubating condition and hemodynamic effect of rocuronium bromide at the dose of 0.8 mg/kg and Succinylcholine at the dose of 1.5 mg/kg. Materials and methods: A double blinded randomized control study was conducted among 60 patients undergoing surgery each groups having 30 patients, Duration of action, Hemodynamic parameters, and intubating conditions were assessed after administering drugs in each group. Appropriate statistical tests were applied P value < 0.05 was considered to be significant Results: The mean of onset of action of succinylcholine is significantly shorter than that of rocuronium (48.07 ± 4.04 Vs 74.4 ± 9.1); and duration of action succinylcholine is significantly shorter than that of the rocuronium (3.85 ± 0.33 Vs 44.4 ± 4.7). Both the drugs significantly elevated mean Heart rate, Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood pressure, MAP from intubation to subsequent intervals. Conclusion: The rocuronium bromide (0.8 mg/kg) has longer duration of action and slower onset of action than succinylcholine (1.5 mg/kg) with excellent intubating condition and minimal alteration in hemodynamic profile. Hence rocuronium bromide (0.8 mg/kg) can be used as an alternative to Succinylcholine (1.5 mg/kg) in selected situations.

Rocuronium bromide is an acetylcholine N2 receptor antagonist, which can be used as an auxiliary drug for general anesthesia. It has been reported that rocuronium has two possible metabolic pathways: N-dealkylation and O-deacetylation, which are mainly taken up by liver and excreted by bile in the form of primary drugs. In this paper, the metabolites of rocuronium in human bile were detected by UHPLC-QE-orbitrap-MS, thirteen metabolites were detected, including eleven phase I metabolites and two phase II metabolites, eleven of which had not been previously reported. At the same time, HEK293 cells overexpressing transporter were used to explore the transmembrane transport mechanism of rocuronium, the results showed that rocuronium was the substrate of MATE1, OCT1, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. The above research results enrich the metabolic pathway of rocuronium in vivo, and put forward the possible transport mechanism of liver uptake and bile excretion, which can better guide the accurate and safe clinical drug application. The collection of human bile samples in this study was approved by the ethics committee of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Approval Number: 2019-775-130-01).

Introduction: The rapid intubation sequence is a basic intervention for the management of the airway in the emergency department. The use of neuromuscular blockers is essential for this intervention. Succinylcholine and rocuronium being the most used, which present pharmacological differences between them. Methods: A single-blind, randomized, controlled study was conducted of all patients who were admitted to the emergency department of the Hospital Municipal de Urgencias and who required a rapid intubation sequence for 13 months using succinylcholine or rocuronium as a neuromuscular blocking drug. Intubation conditions, ease of intubation were assessed, and serum potassium was recorded on admission and 15 minutes after the infusion of the blocker. Results: 80 patients were included in the study, 35 for the rocuronium group and 45 for the succinylcholine group. For the analysis, patients with intubation conditions were classified as clinically acceptable or clinically poor according to the Goldberg scale. In the Rocuronium group 94.3% were clinically acceptable conditions, 5.7% poor conditions and with succinylcholine 82.2% were acceptable conditions and 17.8% in poor conditions. Better intubation conditions are observed with Rocuronium compared to Succinylcholine (RR 0.73 IC 95% 0.23-2,31) but without statistically significant differences. Regarding alteration of serum potassium, there were no statistically significant differences between the two regarding its incidence (RR 1.0 IC 95% 0.53-1.87). Conclusions: Although several studies indicate the superiority of succinylcholine in creating better conditions over rocuronium for intubation, in our study carried out in an emergency department it was observed that rocuronium generates better intubation conditions in relation to succinylcholine although without statistically significant differences and there were no differences in serum potassium levels between both drugs.
Introducción: La secuencia de intubación rápida es una intervención fundamental para el manejo de la vía aérea en la especialidad de Medicina de Emergencias. El uso de bloqueantes neuromusculares es esencial para esta intervención siendo los más usados la succinilcolina y el rocuronio los cuales presentan diferencias farmacológicas entre sí. Método: Se realizó un estudio controlado, aleatorizado, a simple ciego de todos los pacientes que ingresaron al Shock Room del Hospital Municipal de Urgencias y que requirieron secuencia de intubación rápida durante 13 meses utilizando succinilcolina o rocuronio como fármaco bloqueante neuromuscular. Se valoraron condiciones de intubación y facilidad de intubación y se registró el potasio sérico al ingreso y a los 15 minutos posteriores a la infusión del bloqueante. Resultados: Se incluyeron en el estudio a 80 pacientes, 35 para el grupo rocuronio y 45 para el grupo succinilcolina. Para el análisis se clasificaron a los pacientes con condiciones de intubación en clínicamente aceptables o clínicamente pobres según la escala de Goldberg. Del grupo rocuronio el 94,3% tenían condiciones clínicamente aceptables, 5,7% condiciones pobres y con succinilcolina el 82,2% en condiciones aceptables y 17,8% en condiciones pobres. Se observaron mejores condiciones de intubación con rocuronio respecto a succinilcolina (RR 0,73 IC 95% 0,23-2,31), pero sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas. En cuanto a alteración del potasio sérico no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos respecto a su incidencia (RR 1,0 IC 95% 0,53-1,87). Conclusiones: Aunque varios estudios indican una la superioridad de la succinilcolina en crear mejores condiciones sobre el rocuronio para la intubación, en nuestro estudio realizado en un departamento de emergencias se observó que el rocuronio genera mejores condiciones de intubación en relación a succinilcolina aunque sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas y no hay diferencias en la elevación del potasio sérico entre ambos fármacos.

Abstract Background and objectives: Sugammadex is an alternative pharmacological drug capable of reversing neuromuscular blockades without the limitations that are presented by anticholinesterase drugs. Coagulation disorders that are related to treatment with sugammadex were reported. The exact mechanism of the effects on coagulation are not fully understood. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of rocuronium, sugammadex and the rocuronium-sugammadex complex on coagulation in an experimental model in rats. Methods: This is an experimental randomized animal study. Wistar rats were randomly assigned into the following groups: the Control Group; the Ssal Group - 0.5 mL of intravenous saline; the Sugammadex Group - intravenous sugammadex (100 mg kg−1); and the Rocuronium-Sugammadex Group - intravenous solution with rocuronium (3.75 mg kg−1) and sugammadex (100 mg kg−1). Anesthesia was performed by using isoflurane with controlled ventilation. Coagulation factors were measured 10 minutes after the end of the preoperative preparation and 30 minutes after the administration of the drugs in accordance with the chosen groups. Results: Platelet counts, prothrombin times, and activated partial thromboplastin times were similar between the groups and between the moments within each group. There were reductions in the plasma fibrinogen levels between sample times 1 and 2 in the Rocuronium-Sugammadex group (p = 0.035). Conclusions: The rocuronium-sugammadex complex promoted reductions in plasma fibrinogen counts, although the levels were still within normal limits.
Resumo Introdução e objetivos: O sugamadex é uma substância farmacológica alternativa capaz de reverter o bloqueio neuromuscular sem as limitações apresentadas pelos anticolinesterásicos. Entretanto, há relatos de transtornos de coagulação relacionados ao tratamento com sugamadex sem que mecanismos exatos de seus efeitos sobre a coagulação sejam totalmente compreendidos. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi avaliar os efeitos do rocurônio, sugamadex e do complexo rocurônio-sugamadex sobre a coagulação em um modelo experimental com ratos. Métodos: Este é um estudo randomizado experimental animal. Ratos Wistar foram aleatoriamente designados aos seguintes grupos: grupo controle; Grupo Ssal - 0,5 mL de solução salina intravenosa; Grupo sugamadex - sugamadex intravenoso (100 mg.kg-1); e Grupo rocurônio-sugamadex - solução intravenosa com rocurônio (3,75 mg.kg-1) e sugamadex (100 mg.kg-1). A anestesia foi realizada utilizando-se isoflurano com ventilação controlada. Os fatores de coagulação foram medidos 10 minutos após o final do preparo pré-operatório e 30 minutos após a administração de drogas de acordo com os grupos escolhidos. Resultados: Contagem de plaquetas, tempo de protrombina e tempo de tromboplastina parcial ativada foram semelhantes entre os grupos e entre os momentos dentro de cada grupo. Houve redução nos níveis de fibrinogênio plasmático entre os tempos 1 e 2 no grupo rocurônio-sugamadex (p = 0,035). Conclusões: O complexo rocurônio-sugamadex promoveu reduções na contagem de fibrinogênio plasmático, apesar de os níveis continuarem dentro dos limites normais.

Objective of the Study: This paper has been aimed to determine whether the pharmacological neuromuscular blockade with rocuroniumduring emergency Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) affected pupillary response to light (PLR) in patients with brain insult as compared to patients who had non-neurological illness. Previous studies elucidated that RSI with pharmacological neuromuscular blockade does not affect PLR, except in patients with significant neurological lesion. Our objective is to examine the validity of existing but scarce literature on this subject, with further stratification of patients involved in this study into neurological and non-neurological disease groups.Methods:This was a prospective case-reference study of case group with brain insult patients compared with reference group of patients without neurological diseases undergoing RSI in emergency settings. It is single centered study, conducted from October 2019 till May 2020. A pair of a neurosurgeon and a medical officer assessed pupillary light response after administration of neuromuscular blockade and intubation, each blinded to other’s assessment of PLR. Cases without pupillary response before RSI intubation were excluded. The primary outcome measure was clinically observable Pupillary Light Response (PLR) following neuromuscular blockade with Rocuronium in each group.Results:We examined 50 patients undergoing RSIwith Rocuronium, either in emergency department or Intensive Care Unit (ICU), 25 each in index and reference group respectively. All patients in the reference group showed PLR after RSI. Of case group patients receiving RSI, only15 of 25 (60%) demonstrated PLR after RSI. This was statistically significant (p value<0.05) when compared to number of patients with intact PLR after RSI in reference group. Cohen’s Kappa Coefficient (k) for inter-observer agreement was 0.70.Conclusion: Rocuronium does not appearto affect PLR after emergent RSI in patients without brain injury. Only in patients with known brain insult showed impaired PLR, suggesting impaired pupillary light reflex mechanism may be the culprit for this aberration, rather than pharmacological neuromuscular blockade

Abstract Background and objectives: Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin that reverses the effects of aminosteroidal neuromuscular blocking agents. Likewise, some steroid molecules, such as toremifene, fusidic acid, and flucloxacillin, can also be encapsulated by sugammadex. Methylprednisolone, which is a synthetic steroid used commonly for airway edema prophylaxis, can also be encapsulated by sugammadex. The objective of this study was to compare the recovery times of sugammadex for reversing rocuronium-induced moderate neuromuscular blockade in those who received intraoperative 1 mg kg-1 methylprednisolone or saline. Method: This single-centered, randomized, controlled, prospective study included 162 adult patients undergoing elective ear-nose-throat procedures (aged from 18 to 65, an ASA physical status I-II, a BMI less than 30 kg m-2, and not taking steroid drug medication) with propofol, remifentanyl, rocuronium and sevoflurane. Neuromuscular monitoring was performed using calibrated acceleromyography. The Control Group (Group C) received 5 mL of saline, while the Methylprednisolone Group (Group M) received 1 mg kg-1 of methylprednisolone in 5 mL of saline just after induction. After the completion of surgery, regarding the TOF count, two reappeared spontaneously and 2 mg kg-1 sugammadex was administered to all patients. Recovery of the TOF ratio to 0.9 was recorded for both groups, and the estimated recovery time to reach a TOF ratio (TOFr) of 0.9 was the primary outcome of the study. Results: Median time to TOFr = 0.9 was for 130.00 s (range of 29-330) for Group C and 181.00 s (100-420) for Group M (p < 0.001). The differences between the two groups were statistically significant. Conclusion: When using 2 mg kg-1 of sugammadex to reverse rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in patients who received 1 mg kg-1 of intraoperative methylprednisolone, demonstrated delayed recovery times.
Resumo Justificativa e objetivos: Sugammadex é uma gama-ciclodextrina modificada que reverte os efeitos de agentes de bloqueio neuromuscular aminoesteroides. Da mesma forma, algumas moléculas esteroides, como toremifene, ácido fusídico e flucloxacilina, podem ser encapsulados pelo sugammadex. A metilprednisolona, esteroide sintético usado geralmente para a profilaxia de edema de vias aéreas, também pode ser encapsulada pelo sugammadex. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar os tempos de recuperação do sugammadex na reversão de bloqueio neuromuscular moderado induzido pelo rocurônio em pacientes em que foi administrado 1 mg.kg-1 de metilprednisolona ou solução salina no período intraoperatório. Método: Este estudo prospectivo, randomizado, controlado, unicêntrico incluiu 162 pacientes adultos (idades de 18-65, ASA I-II, IMC abaixo de 30 kg.m-2, e não usando medicação esteroide) submetidos à anestesia geral para procedimento eletivo de otorrinolaringologia com propofol, remifentanil, rocurônio e sevoflurano. A monitorização neuromuscular foi realizada usando aceleromiógrafo calibrado. O grupo controle (Grupo C) recebeu 5 mL de solução salina, enquanto o grupo metilprednisolona (Grupo M) recebeu 1 mg.kg-1 de metilprednisolona em 5 mL de solução salina logo após a indução. Ao término da cirurgia, em relação à contagem do número de respostas à sequência de quatro estímulos (TOFc), dois pacientes mostraram recuperação espontânea e todos os pacientes receberam 2 mg.kg-1 de sugammadex. A recuperação da razão T4/T1 (TOFr) para 0,9 foi registrada nos dois grupos, e o desfecho primário do estudo foi o tempo estimado de recuperação, momento em que a razão TOFr alcançou o valor de 0,9 (TOFr = 0.9). Resultados: O tempo mediano para TOFr = 0,9 foi 130 s (29-330) para o Grupo C e 181s (100-420) para o Grupo M (p < 0,001). As diferenças entre os dois grupos foi estatisticamente significante. Conclusões: Pacientes que receberam 1 mg.kg-1 de metilprednisolona no intraoperatório apresentaram tempo de recuperação mais prolongado após o uso de 2 mg.kg-1 de sugammadex para reverter o bloqueio neuromuscular induzido pelo rocurônio.

Abstract Background: Sugammadex has made it possible to reverse any type of rocuronium-induced block quickly and safely. The most frequent neuromuscular blockade is the moderate one where doses smaller than those recommended by the industry could get a full reversal. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of half the industry recommended dose of sugammadex to reverse a moderate neuromuscular block. Methods: Unicenter phase IV clinical trial that included 34 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Intravenous general anesthesia was induced, with acceleromyographic monitoring of the neuromuscular block. After the intervention, the block was reversed with all or half the dose of sugammadex recommended for moderate blocks, using a blinded syringe. Results: Patient characteristics of the 2 groups were similar. Mean time to recovery was 3.6± 1.7minutes for the study group and 3.1 ± 1.7minutes for the control group (P=0.42). Reversal of the block was complete with a single dose of sugammadex in all patients. There was an important linear correlation between depth of block and time to recovery. Conclusion: Intraoperative monitoring is essential to allow us to individualize the dose of the neuromuscular blocking agent. To reverse a moderate block under neuromuscular monitoring, a dose of 1 mg/kg is sufficient in most cases and is equally safe and effective.
Resumen Introducción: El sugammadex permite revertir cualquier tipo de bloqueo inducido por rocuronio de forma rápida y segura. El bloqueo neuromuscular más frecuente es el moderado, en el cual dosis inferiores a las recomendadas por la industria podrían revertirlo completamente. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de la mitad de la dosis de sugammadex recomendada por la industria para revertir un bloqueo neuromuscular moderado. Métodos: Ensayo clínico de fase IV en un unico centro que incluyó a 34 pacientes intervenidos de colecistectomía laparoscópica. Se realizó anestesia general intravenosa con monitoreo aceleromiográfico del bloqueo neuromuscular. Tras la intervención, el bloqueo se revirtió con la totalidad o con la mitad de la dosis de sugammadex recomendada para bloqueos moderados, utilizando una jeringa ciega. Resultados: Las características de los pacientes de los dos grupos fueron similares. La media de tiempo de recuperación fue de 3,6 ± 1,7 minutos para el grupo de estudio y de 3,1 ± 1,7 minutos para el grupo de control (p = 0,42). La reversión del bloqueo se completó con una dosis única de sugammadex en todos los pacientes. Hubo una correlación lineal importante entre la profundidad del bloqueo y el tiempo de recuperación. Conclusión: El monitoreo transquirúrgico es esencial para individualizar la dosis del agente de bloqueo neuromuscular. Para revertir un bloqueo moderado bajo monitoreo neuromuscular, una dosis de 1mg/kg es suficiente e igualmente segura y efectiva.

Background: Patients frequently need a rapid sequenceinduction (RSI) endotracheal intubation technique duringemergencies or electively to protect against aspiration inconditions like pregnancy, abdominal pathologies especiallyobstruction or ileus, neurologic disease, or in difficult airway.Traditionally succinylcholine has been the most commonlyused muscle relaxant for this purpose because of its fast onsetand short duration; unfortunately, it can have serious sideeffects. Rocuronium has been suggested as an alternative tosuccinylcholine for intubation.Methods: This study was done at department of anesthesiaSMBT Institute of Medical Science and Research Center,Dhamangaon Tal. Igatpuri, Nashik, Maharashtra, India. Thepatients were systematically randomized into three groups oftwenty each. Group A: Succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg, Group B:Rocuronium bromide 0.6 mg/kg &Group C: Rocuroniumbromide 0.9 mg/kg.Intubating conditions, onset of action andadverse effects were observed.Results: It was observed that group A & group C patients hadexcellent intubation conditions with faster onset of action forgroup A patients. Adverse effects were not seen in any of thethree groups.Conclusion: Our study concludes that Succinylcholine is anideal agent for intubation in all surgical procedures. Intubatingconditions of Rocuronium bromide at a dose of 0.9mg/kg(3xED95) is comparable to Succinylcholine 1.5mg/kgat1minute. Rocuronium bromide 0.9mg/kg can be used safelyin patients where succinylcholine is contraindicated.

Sudden airway loss during surgery in a laterally positionedpatient may have hazardous consequences. We studiedwhether the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) facilitatesfibreoptic guided tracheal intubation in patients positioned inthe lateral position. Anesthesia was induced with propofol,fentanyl, and rocuronium in 90 consenting patients of eithersex, weighing 50-70 Kg undergoing surgery. Patients wererandomized to three groups (n=30 each); Group 1 (Controlgroup) Supine position, or positioned on their right or left sides(Group 2 and Group 3 respectively) before induction of generalanesthesia. ILMA insertion and fibreoptic guided intubation wasperformed in that position. The grade of the glottic view, timerequired for intubation and number of adjusting maneuversused were recorded. Data were compared by ANOVA, multiple‘t’ test and chi(2) test. Demographic and airway measureswere similar in the three groups. The time required for ILMAinsertion (<30 secs) and success rate was similar in threegroups. The time to intubation was also similar ineach group (15.24±3.4719.68±17.29 secs, 19.35±11.83 secsin Groups 1, 2, 3 respectively; p = > 0.05), as was intubationsuccess (97.7%). Hence ILMA offers a frequent success rateand a clinically acceptable intubation time (<1 min) even in thelateral position.

Background: Priming is one of those techniques in which a small dose of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants is administeredfollowed by a large intubating dose. Cisatracurium is the newly introduced drug with Hoffman elimination. The problem with itsuse is delayed onset of action. The present study was conducted to compare the onset of cisatracurium for tracheal intubationwith and without priming dose of rocuronium.Materials and Methods: A total of 60 American Society of Anesthesiologist physical Status Ι and ΙΙ patients undergoing surgeryunder general anesthesia were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups of 30 each. Patients in Group Rreceived priming dose of rocuronium 0.06 mg/kg before intubating dose of cisatracurium (0.14 mg/kg). Group C patients didnot get any priming, only normal saline was given before intubating dose of cisatracurium (0.15 mg/kg).Results: Time gap between administration of the cisatracurium and complete loss of T1 was recorded as intubation time.The intubation time was significantly less in Group R, i.e., 130 ± 11.02 s as compared to Group C, i.e., 230.33 ± 12.82 s. Theintubating conditions were similar in both the groups. The hemodynamic changes were statistically insignificant. The time to25% recovery of the T1 response is defined as the clinically effective duration of neuromuscular block. The rate of recovery isdescribed by the recovery index, which is defined as the time from 25% to 75% T1 recovery.Conclusion: Priming with rocuronium decreased the onset time without increasing the clinical duration of action or recovery index.

BACKGROUND: The facilitator effects of steroids on neuromuscular transmission may cause resistance to neuromuscular blocking agents. Additionally, steroids may hinder sugammadex reversal of neuromuscular blockade, but these findings remain controversial. Therefore, we explored the effect of dexamethasone and hydrocortisone on rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade and their inhibitory effect on sugammadex. METHODS: We explored the effects of steroids, dexamethasone and hydrocortisone, in vitro using a phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm rat model. In the first phase, an effective dose of rocuronium was calculated, and in the second phase, following sugammadex administration, the recovery of the train-of-four (TOF) ratio and T1 was evaluated for 30 minutes, and the recovery index was calculated in dexamethasone 0, 0.5, 5, and 50 μg/ml, or hydrocortisone 0, 1, 10, or 100 μg/ml. RESULTS: No significant effect of steroids on the effective dose of rocuronium was observed. The TOF ratios at 30 minutes after sugammadex administration were decreased significantly only at high experimental concentrations of steroids: dexamethasone 50 μg/ml and hydrocortisone 100 μg/ml (P < 0.001 and P = 0.042, respectively). There were no statistical significances in other concentrations. No differences were observed in T1. Recovery index was significantly different only in 100 μg/ml of hydrocortisone (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Acute exposure to steroids did not resist the neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium. And inhibition of sugammadex reversal on rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade is unlikely at typical clinical doses of dexamethasone and also hydrocortisone. Conclusively, we can expect proper effects of rocuronium and sugammadex when dexamethasone or hydrocortisone is used during general anesthesia.

BACKGROUND: Sugammadex is a reversal agent for non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers and widely used worldwide on account of its rapid and effective reversal from neuromuscular blockade, despite its advantages, multiple cases of sugammadex-induced anaphylactic shock have been reported. CASE: A 42-year-old man developed anaphylactic shock in the postanesthesia care unit. Initially, sugammadex was suspected as the causative agent, but an intradermal skin test revealed negative results. A further skin test was performed with sugammadex-rocuronium complex that yielded positive results. CONCLUSIONS: Anesthesiologists and healthcare providers should be aware of the possibility of anaphylaxis from the sugammadex-rocuronium complex, as well as from sugammadex or rocuronium alone.

Perioperative hypersensitivity reaction have been reported to have a variable degree of the incidence from differ countries and to be 1/353–18,600 approximately and its mortality has been reported to be 4%–4.76% in the United States and Japan, respectively. A 65-year-old male patient with hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, and history of amoxicillin allergy was scheduled for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy due to prostate cancer. Lidocaine, propofol, and rocuronium were administered sequentially to induce general anesthesia. Twenty minutes after the rocuronium administration, severe hypotension and tachycardia developed. But key signs of hypersensitivity such as urticaria and bronchospasm were not appeared. The operation was canceled and we evaluated the cause of severe hypotension and could confirm hypersensitivity for rocuronium with intradermal test after 4 weeks.

BACKGROUND: Sugammadex reverses rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade quickly and effectively. Herein, we compared the efficacy of sugammadex and pyridostigmine in the reversal of rocuronium-induced light block or minimal block in pediatric patients scheduled for elective entropion surgery. METHODS: A prospective randomized study was conducted in 60 pediatric patients aged 2–11 years who were scheduled for entropion surgery under sevoflurane anesthesia. Neuromuscular blockade was achieved by administration of 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium and assessed using the train-of-four (TOF) technique. Patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups receiving either sugammadex 2 mg/kg or pyridostigmine 0.2 mg/kg and glycopyrrolate 0.01 mg/kg at the end of surgery. Primary outcomes were time from administration of reversal agents to TOF ratio 0.9 and TOF ratio 1.0. Time from the administration of reversal agents to extubation and postoperative adverse events were also recorded. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the demographic variables. Time from the administration of reversal agents to TOF ratio 0.9 and TOF ratio 1.0 were significantly shorter in the sugammadex group than in the pyridostigmine plus glycopyrrolate group: 1.30 ± 0.84 vs. 3.53 ± 2.73 min (P < 0.001) and 2.75 ± 1.00 vs. 5.73 ± 2.83 min (P < 0.001), respectively. Extubation time was shorter in the sugammadex group. Adverse events, such as skin rash, nausea, vomiting, and postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade (airway obstruction), were not statistically different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Sugammadex provided more rapid reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in pediatric patients undergoing surgery than did pyridostigmine plus glycopyrrolate.
