Abstract
AbstractSugammadex has been approved for reversal of neuromuscular blockade by vecuronium and rocuronium in adults undergoing surgery. Although widely used in the operating room, sugammadex has not been investigated in the intensive care unit setting. This study aimed to evaluate the use of sugammadex in critically ill patients with a focus on known drug-related adverse reactions. In this single-center, retrospective, observational study, 91 critically ill patients who were administered sugammadex while in the ICU were evaluated. Electronic health records were reviewed, and baseline data, as well as indication and incidence of complications possibly related to sugammadex, were retrospectively collected. The most common procedures requiring neuromuscular blockade followed by reversal with sugammadex were bronchoscopy, percutaneous dilatative tracheostomy, and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. Within 2 h following administration of sugammadex, skin rash and use of antihistamines were reported in 4 patients (4.4%) in total; bradycardia was observed in 9 patients (9.9%), and respiratory adverse events were described in 3 patients (3.3%). New-onset bleeding up to 24 h after sugammadex was reported in 7 patients (7.7%), 3of whom received transfusions of packed red blood cells. Sugammadex was well tolerated in critically ill patients and could be considered for reversal of neuromuscular blockade in this population. Larger prospective studies are required to determine the safety profile and evaluate the potential benefit and indications of sugammadex in the critical care setting.
