Effectiveness of Sugammadex on Muscle Relaxant Reversal in Preterm Neonates

Effectiveness of Sugammadex on Muscle Relaxant Reversal in Preterm Neonates

The primary aim of the work is to compare the efficacy of Sugammadex and neostigmine in reversing rocuronium-induced muscle relaxation to reach complete recovery of neuromuscular block (TOF ratio≥ 0.9) in preterm neonates.

The secondary aim is to evaluate the safety of using Sugammadex in preterm neonates and to detect any complications that may occur in this age group.

Inclusion Criteria:

• preterm neonates
• scheduled for elective inguinal hernia repair

Exclusion Criteria:

• drug hypersensitivity
• patient is with any diseases affecting the neuromuscular junction
• Patients with family history of malignant hyperthermia
