Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Muscle relaxants are routinely used worldwide as a part of a modern concept of balanced anesthesia. They can be categorized as depolarizing (eg, succinylcholine) and nondepolarizing (steroid-based and benzylisoquinoline) muscle relaxants. Although nondepolarizing muscle relax¬ants have very few adverse effects (mostly allergic reactions) during anesthesia, a residual duration of action of muscle relaxants beyond the end of the operation, also referred to as postoperative residual curarization (PORC), is a well-known problem. Cholinesterase inhibitors are traditionally used for reversal of neuromuscular blockade (NMB). Among these agents neostigmine is the most potent and selective one. Today, sugammadex is an alternative to the decurarization procedure, which was traditionally executed with cholinesterase inhibitors. PORC and the muscarinic side effects are not anticipated when using sugammadex, which has been developed so as to be selective for rocuronium and vecuronium.
Sugammadex is a modified gammacyclodextrin, developed as a reversal agent for steroidal neuromuscular blocking drugs. It forms a tight one-to-one complex with rocuronium (or vecuronium), encapsulating the drug in the plasma and hence reducing its concentration at the neuromuscular junction and rapidly reversing the block.
The aim of this work is to compare sugammadex and neostigmine in the reversal of neuromuscular block in pediatric patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries. |
