AbstractThe review covers the history of neuromuscular block reversal. It states that indications for decurarization have been changed due to the extremely high rate of residual curarization even after the use of average-acting myorelaxants. The paper provides the pharmacological characteristics of sugammadex, a new selective relaxant-binding agent for aminosteroids (rocuronium and vecuronium) with the unique mechanism of action. It also gives data on the efficacy and safety of sugammadex versus anticholinesterase agents and estimates the prospects for its clinical application.
