摘要
The neuromuscular blocking drugs rocuronium and vecuronium are often used during general anesthesia. These drugs temporarily paralyze the patient and thus both facilitate placement of an endotracheal tube and prevent any patient movement during surgery. Reversal of neuromuscular blockade is necessary at the end of surgery to avoid postoperative weakness and adverse respiratory events in the recovery room. Neostigmine, the traditional reversal agent, may not completely restore muscle strength. Sugammadex is a reversal agent that is more effective and quicker acting than neostigmine. In adults, sugammadex administration has rarely been associated with bradycardia and cardiac arrest. In healthy children, the bradycardia that occurs after sugammadex administration is benign and does not require intervention. There is 1 case report of a 10- to 15-second bradycardic arrest after sugammadex administration to a 10-year-old child with heart disease. The present case report describes an 8-month-old child with complex congenital heart disease who experienced a 10-minute bradycardic arrest after the administration of sugammadex. Pediatric anesthesiologists should be aware that sugammadex administration to children with heart disease may cause hemodynamically significant bradycardia.
