Brief summary

This study hypothesizes that Sugammadex may has more appropriate recovery profile than neostigmine in pediatric cardiac patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. In pediatric cardiac patients, clear and rapid recovery (fast-tracking) is required to maintain hemodynamic within the normal physiological values which may be saved by sugammadex

Detailed description

There are numerous advantages of early tracheal extubation otherwise known as fast-tracking following anesthesia for congenital heart disease (CHD) Early tracheal extubation not only eliminates the potential morbidity related to an endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation such as atelectasis, accumulation of secretions, nosocomial infections, and the potential for airway trauma, it also limits the need for sedation and the antecedent adverse effects including respiratory and hemodynamic depression, tolerance, withdrawal, and delirium. Most importantly, the shift from positive pressure to spontaneous ventilation augments cardiovascular function and improves preload. Reversal of neuromuscular blockade is a fundamental aspect of emergence from general anesthesia. Historically, the only option to actively reverse blockade will be to administer anticholinesterase inhibitors, which are unable to reverse deep neuromuscular blockade. They are also associated with a variety of cholinergic side effects, including bradycardia, nausea, and increased secretions, which require concomitant administration of an anticholinergic agent, with its own adverse effects. Sugammadex is a newer, selective relaxant binding agent

Interventions

DRUGReversal Neostigmine

Patients will receive 0.02 mg/ kg atropine and 0.04 mg/ kg neostigmine following observing the second response on stimulating the ulnar nerve on the TOF watch

DRUGReversal Sugammadex

Interventional Arm Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization will receive sugammadex 4 mg/ kg when the T2 is observed on the TOF watch

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Reversal efficacy90 minutes after endotracheal extubationMean time in minutes from start of sugammadex or neostigmine administration to recovery of T4/T1 ratio to 0.9 was assessed by applying repetitive train of four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. Nerve stimulation continued until the ratio of the magnitude of the fourth twitch (T4) to first twitch (T1) reached at least 0.9

Secondary

Anaphylaxisfor 24 hour after sugammadex or neostigmine administrationpatients monitored after sugammadex or neostigmine administration for 24 hours postoperative for The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) proposed clinical criteria for diagnosing anaphylaxis . Depending on the severity of the reaction, four grades of immediate clinical manifestations are described: Grade 1, Cutaneous signs only; Grade 2, Measurable but not life-threatening symptoms and cutaneous signs,hypotension, tachycardia, and respiratory disturbances, such as cough and difficulty in lung inflation; Grade 3, Life-threatening symptoms: collapse, tachycardia or bradycardia, arrhythmias, bronchospasm; Grade 4, Cardiac and/or respiratory arrest
