Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis compared the effects of sugammadex and neostigmine on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients who underwent surgeries with general anesthesia.
- The study included data from 14 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1,478 adult patients, showing that sugammadex resulted in a lower risk of overall PPCs compared to neostigmine.
- Specifically, sugammadex was linked to a significantly reduced risk of postoperative respiratory failure, while there was no significant difference in rates of postoperative pulmonary infection, atelectasis, or pneumothorax between the two medications.
