Core Tip |
Sugammadex is a new drug to reverse neuromuscular blockade. Its unique mechanism of action has revolutionized the management of neuromuscular block. For the first time anaesthetists have the ability to reverse safely and predictably from any level of neuromuscular blockade transforming its clinical management. Post-operative residual curarisation can be eliminated bringing significant safety benefits to patients. Sugammadex is expensive and anaesthetists need to use it in a cost effective way for appropriate patients and anaesthetic techniques. Clinical guidelines can help in ensuring that sugammadex is used responsibly in current clinical practice. |
