Abstrakt: Background: Sugammadex rapidly reverses the nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) rocuronium and vecuronium. The role of sugammadex is not well-defined outside of the postoperative setting.
Objective: This study aims to describe sugammadex use outside the postoperative setting for the reversal of nondepolarizing NMBAs.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study conducted in patients who received sugammadex outside of the postoperative setting at an academic medical center between June 2016 and November 2022. The primary outcome was the effect of sugammadex use for rocuronium reversal, defined as any increase in train-of-four (TOF) after sugammadex administration and/or progress note documentation if TOF was unavailable. Secondary outcomes included adverse events and documentation of contraceptive counseling in patients taking hormonal contraceptives with child-bearing ability.
Results: A total of 14 383 patients received sugammadex during the study period. Of those patients, 39 (0.3%) were outside of the postoperative setting for the reversal of rocuronium and included in the study. Twenty-nine (74%) patients had an increase in TOF after sugammadex administration and/or progress note documentation if TOF was unavailable. Ten (26%) patients lacked documentation regarding the effect of sugammadex. No adverse reactions were reported. Three (8%) patients included in the study were of child-bearing ability, and 1 of the 3 patients was counseled on using an alternative method of contraception following sugammadex administration.
Conclusion and Relevance: There is a paucity of literature for the use of sugammadex outside of the postoperative setting. This study found that while the use of sugammadex was rare, overall, it was safe and well-tolerated.
