Case ReportsA new approach to anesthesia management in myasthenia gravis: reversal of neuromuscular blockade by sugammadex.
A neuromuscular blocking drug (NMBD) induced neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in patients with myasthenia gravis usually dissipates either spontaneously or by administration of neostigmine. We administered sugammadex to a patient with myasthenia gravis to reverse a rocuronium-induced profound NMB. ⋯ A rapid and complete recovery from profound NMB was achieved and no adverse events were observed. This case suggests that sugammadex is a safe and effective antagonist of a rocuronium induced NMB blockade in patients with myasthenia gravis.
