Brief summary

To investigate the effects of sugammadex and neostigmine on IOP, hemodynamic parameters, and complications after extubation. Patients aged 18–65 years with a risk status of ASA I–II who underwent arthroscopic surgery under general anesthesia. The patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. At the end of the surgery, the neuromuscular block was reversed using neostigmine (40–50 microg/kg) and atropine (15 microg/kg) in group 1, and sugammadex (4 mg/kg) in group 2. IOP were measured before induction and at 30 sec and 2 and 10 min after extubation. A Tono-Pen XL applanation tonometer (Medtronic Solan, Jacksonville, FL, USA) was used to measure IOP.

Interventions

Sugammadex is the intervention of the study. This drug is the first selective relaxant binding agent. In the study, sugammadex was given as an intravenous injection and each patient received only a single dose . The dosage of Sugammadex is 4mg/kg. Sugammadex was administered at the completion of surgery.
