Sugammadex Use in Abdominal Surgery

Rocuronium, a neuromuscular blocking agent, was administered during major abdominal surgery. Following the operation, all patients were transferred to the PACU. Anesthetists could decide whether or not to use sugammadex according to their discretion. Time of administration of sugammadex depends on the anesthesia team’s clinical judgment [19 ]. Sugammadex was administered at 2 mg/kg, with a maximum of 200 mg per patient. The patients were extubated as soon as they awakened and were capable of following instructions. Tracheal extubation did not involve neuromuscular monitoring.
