Methods Study design: prospective, randomized study
Sample size calculation: no information available
Participants Number of randomized participants: 31
Inclusion criteria: adult; ASA IV; scheduled for procedures in interventional bronchoscopy
Exclusion criteria: no information available
Interventions Anaesthesia: induced with midazolam, propofol, and sufentanil; maintained with increments of propofol
NMBA: single intubating dose: rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg; maintenance dose: rocuronium 0.15 mg/kg
Comparison: sugammadex 2.0 mg/kg (n = 16) vs neostigmine 70 µg/kg (n = 15)
Administration time of sugammadex or neostigmine: PTC 1 to 2
Outcomes Primary efficacy parameter: time to recovery of TOFR to 0.9
Other parameters: time from beginning of anaesthesia to time of patient discharge to the PACU and blood gas analysis at time of discharge, adverse events
Notes Publication type: meeting abstract
Country: Croatia
Conversions: none
Handling of adverse events: No discrepancy exists between AEs presented in the original article and those reported in this review
Authors’ conclusions: Sugammadex provided significantly faster recovery time from rocuronium‐induced profound neuromuscular block in comparison with neostigmine, and shorter duration from beginning of anaesthesia to patient discharge to PACU with lower values of PaCO2
