Non-depolarizing muscle relaxing agents are routinely used in nearly two thirds of general anaesthetics. Residual neuromuscular blockade as a major side effect leads to hypoventilation and can contribute to the development of postoperative aspiration and pneumonia. This case report compares the peri-operative course of a patient who underwent the same surgical procedure within tree years. It corroborated the effectiveness and reliability of sugammadex.
Keywords: residual neuromuscular blockade; hypoventilation; sugammadex
