Brief summary

The aim of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of rocuronium and sugammadex and their clinical effect in the terms of both the relaxation of paralysed muscles (rocuronium) and the reversal of neuromuscular blockade (sugammadex) in children over 2 years of age undergoing general anesthesia for surgical procedures needing muscle relaxation for more than 30 minutes.

Detailed description

The study group was divided into three subgroups depending on the different doses of sugammadex. Group I received dose of 0.5 Mg/kg, Group II - 1.0 Mg/kg and Group III received dose of 2 Mg/kg of sugammadex. General anesthesia was performed among all included patients at the same way. During general anesthesia monitoring of TOF - Train-of-four, was used to assess the muscle relaxation force of rocuronium as well as the reversal of neuromuscular blockade by sugammadex. For this purpose, 1.5 ml of blood samples taken 8 times, were collected to determine the PKPD of the tested drugs, according to own protocol.

Interventions

Sugammadex was administered in the dose of 0.5 Mg/kg or 1.0 Mg/kg or 2.0 Mg/kg to reverse neuromuscular blockade.
