In Brief:
IMPLICATIONS: Sugammadex, 4 mg/kg IV, given in the presence of ≥1 (vs 0) twitch responses in a train-of-four (TOF) was associated with a faster recovery to a TOF ratio of 0.9 (104±73 vs 173±162 s). Although residual rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade is rapidly reversed in most patients with sugammadex when it is administered >15 min after the last dose of the relaxant, 16% and 9% of the patients in the 0 and ≥1 twitch groups, respectively, failed to recover to a TOF of 0.9 within 5 min.
