Registration Number
NCT03656614
Lead Sponsor
Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to estimate the optimal dose of sugammadex and neostigmine reversal of a vecuronium-induced residual neuromuscular block at train-of-four ratio 0.3.

Detailed Description

Sugammadex is a modified γ-cyclodextrin compound that reverses the neuromuscular blockade produced by steroidal nondepolarizing muscle relaxants such as rocuronium,vecuronium and pipecuronium by encapsulating them, making them unavailable to interact with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction.However, residual neuromuscular blocks between reappearance of T4 and train-of-four ratio (TOFR)=0.5 are more frequent in clinical practice compared with profound or deep blocks and have not been investigated for sugammadex previously.

Unlike neostigmine, sugammadex is efficacious in reversing profound (no responses to either train-of-four (TOF) or posttetanic count stimulation) or deep (posttetanic count of 1 or 2) neuromuscular block (NMB) in doses of 16 and 4 mg/kg, respectively. However, shallow neuromuscular blocks are more frequent in clinical practice compared with profound or deep blocks and have not been investigated for sugammadex previously.
