AI Article Synopsis
- A 2-day-old male infant underwent surgery for a tracheal esophageal fistula repair and was given rocuronium as part of the anesthesia.
- Following the surgery, the infant experienced prolonged neuromuscular blockade even after the rocuronium was stopped several hours earlier.
- The case highlights the potential central nervous system effects of rocuronium in neonates and the successful reversal of the blockade using sugammadex.
Article Abstract
We describe a 2-day-old male infant who received rocuronium as part of general anesthesia for a tracheal esophageal fistula repair. Postoperatively, he had prolonged central and peripheral neuromuscular blockade despite cessation of the rocuronium infusion several hours previously. This case discusses the presumed central nervous system effects of rocuronium in a neonate and its effective reversal with sugammadex.
