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.

Interventions

DRUGSugammadex

At the end of surgical procedure at a depth of neuromuscular blockade at the reappearance of train-of-four 0.3, single intravenous injection of either : Sugammadex 0.125 mg/kg (sugammadex 0.125) Sugammadex 0.25 mg/kg (sugammadex 0.25) Sugammadex 0.5 mg/kg (sugammadex 0.5) Sugammadex 1.0 mg/kg (sugammadex 1.0) Sugammadex 2.0 mg/kg (sugammadex 2.0)

DRUGNeostigmine

At the end of surgical procedure at a depth of neuromuscular blockade at the reappearance of train-of-four 0.3, single intravenous injection of either : Neostigmine 10 µg/kg (Neostigmine 10) Neostigmine 25 µg/kg (Neostigmine 25) Neostigmine 40 µg/kg (Neostigmine 40) Neostigmine 55 µg/kg (Neostigmine 55) Neostigmine 70 µg/kg (Neostigmine 70) Atropine will be administered with Neostigmine at a half dose of Neostigmine administered through an intravenous line with brisk flow.

DRUGSaline 0.9%

At the end of surgical procedure at a depth of neuromuscular blockade at the reappearance of train-of-four 0.3, single intravenous injection of saline 0.9%.
