==Mechanism of Action==
==Mechanism of Action==
Sugammadex is a reversal agent that can bind to rocuronium and reverse paralysis. The molecule encapsulates rocuronium rather than reversing paralysis via inhibition of [[acetylcholinesterase]] like [[neostigmine]]. The main use is in reversal of [[rocuronium]] or [[vecuronium]] induced paralysis after surgery<ref>Abrishami A et al. "Sugammadex, a selective reversal medication for preventing postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade". Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2009(4). CD007362. doi:10.1002/14651858.CD007362.pub2. PMID 19821409</ref>
*Encapsulates rocuronium or vecuronium in plasma, reducing the amount of neuromuscular blocking agent available to bind to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular junction and thereby reversing neuromuscular blockade

Administration

  • Type/Class: γ-cyclodextrin, antidote
  • Dosage Forms:
    • 200mg/2mL (100mg/mL)
    • 500mg/5mL (100mg/mL)
  • Routes of Administration: IV
  • Common Trade Names: Bridion

Adult Dosing

IV bolus injection infused over 10 seconds via central or peripheral line with 16 mg/kg will reverse a single 1.2 mg/kg dose of rocuronium in approximately 3 minutes.

  • 4 mg/kg if patient has no twitch responses to train-of-four and emergent reverse is not needed
  • 2mg/kg if patient has a second twitch after train of four and no emergent reversal is needed

Pediatric Dosing

  • No approved dosing or usage

Special Populations

Renal Dosing

  • Adult: Unknown
  • Pediatric: Unknown

Hepatic Dosing

  • Adult: Unknown
  • Pediatric: Unknown

Contraindications

  • Allergy to class/drug and or prior documentation of hypersensitivity

Adverse Reactions

Adverse effects are described in the anesthesia literature and the most serious side effect is in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Sugammadex[1]

Serious

  • Anaphylaxis (0.3%), hypersensitivity reaction
  • Bradycardia (1-5%)
  • Prolonged QT

Common

  • Nausea/vomiting
  • Headache
  • Coughing
  • Extremity pain
  • Parosmia, hypoesthesia

Pharmacology

  • Onset of action: reverses paralysis in ~3 minutes
  • Half-life: 2h
  • Metabolism:
  • Excretion: Renal

Mechanism of Action

  • Encapsulates rocuronium or vecuronium in plasma, reducing the amount of neuromuscular blocking agent available to bind to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular junction and thereby reversing neuromuscular blockade

Comments

  • Sugammadex is only FDA approved for reversal for patients undergoing surgery. The drug has been used in Europe since 2008[2]
