filter terms:

A variety of factors are known to prolong neuromuscular blockade, including several medications commonly used in anesthetic practice. We present a patient who underwent general anesthesia using desflurane, vecuronium, and magnesium infusion with delayed neuromuscular blockade reversal after sugammadex administration. A higher than anticipated total dose of sugammadex was required for adequate reversal, and quantitative neuromuscular monitoring was essential to ensuring complete neuromuscular recovery before extubation in this case.
