Sugammadex can reverse rocuronium-induced muscular relaxation by encapsulation of steroidal muscle relaxants without muscarinergic side effects. Clinical studies show effective dose-dependent reversal of neuromuscular blockades after rocuronium and vecuronium. We report on a patient with deep neuromuscular block at the end of surgery following rapid sequence induction of anesthesia with high-dose rocuronium, who could rapidly be reversed without side effects after adequate i.v. sugammadex application.
