Overview
Sugammadex is a novel drug for reversal of rocuronium or vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. Compared to neostigmine, its mechanism of action (encapsulation) is not influenced by cholinesterase activity. In this article, the authors summarize the current indications of sugammadex, its advantages over neostigmine and its value in specific situations during anaesthesia.
Keywords:
neuromuscular blockade – rocuronium – encapsulation – sugammadex
