Efficacy and safety of sugammadex in patients undergoing renal transplantation.
Sugammadex reverses rocuronium by encapsulating it, creating a stable complex that is mainly excreted by the kidneys. Nonetheless, in view of exposure to sugammadex during renal transplantation, current safety data are insufficient. We retrospectively investigated the safety and efficacy of sugammadex in the immediate perioperative period and over long-term follow-up. ⋯ We investigated whether 99 consecutive patients undergoing renal transplantation may benefit from the use of sugammadex. There were no adverse events. We concluded that, in our observational period, sugammadex was efficacious and safe in patients who underwent renal transplantation.
