Exceptional stability of the sugammadex-solasodine complex: Insights from experimental and theoretical studies.

Sugammadex (SGM) is the first cyclodextrin (CD)-based selective relaxant binding agent. We investigated its ability to capture natural aminosteroid phytotoxins, and assessed its potential as an antidote for intoxication. Solasodine (SS), a toxic alkaloid from the Solanaceae family, was chosen as the model compound.

Background: Concerns regarding residual neuromuscular block (RNMB) have persisted since the introduction of neuromuscular blocking agents, with reported incidences in the 21st century up to 50%. Advances in neuromuscular transmission (NMT) monitoring and the introduction of sugammadex have addressed this issue, but the impact of these developments remains unclear.

Methods: This prospective observational study evaluated RNMB in 500 surgical patients in a large Dutch teaching hospital with readily available quantitative NMT monitoring and reversal agents.

Background: Sugammadex, aprepitant, and fosaprepitant are increasingly used perioperatively. These medications may interfere with the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. This study assessed anesthesia providers' use of sugammadex and aprepitant, their knowledge of interactions with hormonal birth control, and patient counseling practices to identify possible knowledge gaps or opportunities for practice improvement.

The use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) has grown due to the development of laparoscopic and minimally invasive procedures. Respiratory insufficiency, an elevated risk of aspiration, postoperative pulmonary complications, and subsequent reintubation are among the risks linked to the residual block. The normal clinical practice calls for the pharmacologic "reversal" of these agents with either sugammadex or neostigmine prior to extubation.

Eliminating residual neuromuscular blockade: a literature review.

Ann Transl Med

August 2024

Department of Anesthesiology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI, USA.

Background And Objective: Although millions of patients receive neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) each year as part of an anesthetic, residual neuromuscular blockade (NMB) remains a too-frequent occurrence and its adverse consequences continue to negatively impact patient outcomes. The goal of this manuscript is to provide clinicians with the information they need to decrease the incidence of residual NMB.

Methods: Published literature was reviewed and incorporated into the narrative as appropriate.
