  Cholinesterase inhibitors have been used to reverse neuromuscular blockade, but the complete spontaneous recovery of neuromuscular blockade in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy remains unclear. A 6-year-old boy was admitted to our clinic for adenoidectomy. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with an IV infusion of propofol and remifentanil. Endotracheal intubation was performed after rocuronium. The duration of anesthesia was 35 min. At the end of the procedure, sugammadex was administered with IV. The recovery time was 160 s. We have demonstrated that reversal of rocuronium-induced NMB by sugammadex in this Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patient provides recovery without side effects. .. View More»
