Orlando, Fla.—Lower doses of sugammadex may not result in clinically significant delays in recovery from neuromuscular blockade, according to a new study. A team of Belgian investigators found that the minimal optimal dose of sugammadex in elective surgery might be as low as 0.5 mg/kg.
According to Olivier Duranteau, MD, of CUB Erasmus Hospital, in Brussels, the lowest recommended dose of sugammadex (Bridion, Merck) is 2 mg/kg when there are two twitches during train-of-four (TOF)
