Use in Specific Patient Population
Dr. Volkan Hancı
Dokuz Eylul University İzmir, Turkey
Sugammadex
• Modified gamma cyclodextrin molecule.
• Unique molecular structure.
• Encapsulates the neuromuscular blocker rocuronium
and vecuronium.
• Removing its from the muscle-nerve junction.
• Selective and rapid reversal of neuromuscular
Sugammadex
• More effective than placebo or neostigmine
• Reduced all signs of residual postoperative
paralysis, and minor respiratory events
• Reduced drug-related side-effects,

– Steroidal drugs, endogenous steroids, oestrogens – Atropine, vancomycin, gentamicin, salbutamol,
aminophylline, ephedrine, phentolamine, verapamil (120–700 times lower than rocuronium)

• Sugammadex facilitates rapid reversal from
moderate rocuronium-induced neuromuscular
blockade in adults of all ages
– Recovery of the TOF ratio to 0.9 increased with age, from 2.3 (2.0-2.6) min (adults) to 2.9 (2.7-3.2) min
– Slower circulation time

• Sugammadex rapidly and effectively reverses
rocuronium-induced NMB in pediatric patients
• Sugammadex provides safer extubation with a shorter
recovery time than neostigmine in pediatric patients
• Sugammadex can be considered as a safe agent in
order to reverse neuromuscular block in pediatric
patients

• Sugammadex quickly and effectively reverses NMB in obese patients
• Sugammadex dosing recommendations are based on total body weight. No dose adjustments are required in the obese patient. • Morbidly obese patients can safely be decurarised from
rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade T1-T2 with sugammadex dosed at 2 mg.kg(-1) ideal body weight + 40% • Sugammadex dose calculated according to IBW is insufficient
for reversing both deep and moderate blockades in morbidly obese patients.

• Sugammadex use in obstetric patients has also successfully reversed NMB
• The data regarding the teratogenicity and safety of sugammadex in pregnant women are limited.
• No reported teratogenicity has been found.
• Rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg reversed by sugammadex appears to be effective in the obstetric population
• Sugammadex could reverse rocuronium-induced
neuromuscular blockade in a dose-response manner even in the patients treated with magnesium sulfate.

• High-flux dialysis (Large pore in dialyzing membranes) • Renal failure;
– effectively and safely reversed profound rocuronium induced neuromuscular block,
– but the recovery was slower than healthy patients. – rapid reversal of deep rocuronium-induced NMB – current safety experience is insufficient to support
recommended use of sugammadex in this population

• Safe / efficacious
• Not change hemodynamic parameters
• Might be preferred as it provides more hemodynamic
stability compared to neostigmine-atropine combination
• Sugammadex can adequately restore neuromuscular
function in heart failure patients under hemodynamically
stable conditions.
• Not prolong QT interval

• Residual NMB even after reversal with anticholinesterase agents, sugammadex, a safe alternative to reverse the NMB

Sugammadex Administration
• After reversal by sugammadex
– Immediate reestablishment of NMB with an aminosteroidal NMB agent is difficult.
– Isoquinoline NMBAs (atracurium, cisatracurium and mivacurium) or succinylcholine should be use
• If the aminosteroidal NMB agent use necessary
– Elimination time of sugammadex should be considered. – Sugammadex undergoes renal elimination
– It takes 8 hours after injection in individuals with normal renal function.

• Sugammadex-induced reversal of NMB restores full
motor function and better reflects a patient’s true

• IV dexamethasone, given after induction of anesthesia, does not substantively affect the reversal time of sugammadex
• Lower end-extubation IOP levels were obtained sugammadex • Sugammadex produced limited, transient increases in aPTT and
prothrombin time
– but not associated with increased risk of bleeding
• Pre-treatment with magnesium did not significantly affect
sugammadex reversal time of moderate neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium.
