Summary: Sugammadex has a lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) within the first 6 hours post-reversal compared to neostigmine-atropine mixture.

Summary: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, sugammadex was found to be more effective than neostigmine in reducing the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, including pneumonia, atelectasis, noninvasive ventilation, and reintubation.

Summary: This meta-analysis examined the difference between sugammadex and neostigmine in reducing postoperative pulmonary complications. The results showed that using sugammadex to reverse neuromuscular blockade can reduce the risk of compound postoperative pulmonary complications, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. However, the evidence is limited by confounding factors and small-scale randomized controlled trials.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of sugammadex and neostigmine for moderate neuromuscular blockade reversal. The results showed that sugammadex achieved faster reversal without increasing perioperative costs.

Summary: Meta-analysis of 40 randomized controlled trials showed that sugammadex is associated with a lower risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting compared to neostigmine, especially in patients receiving volatile anesthetics.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the consequences of not using residual neuromuscular blockade (RNB) analysis to guide the administration of neuromuscular blockade reversal in the postsurgical ICU. The results showed that there may be a risk of residual neuromuscular blockade in patients who did not undergo RNB analysis before receiving neuromuscular blockade reversal agents. Therefore, careful assessment and monitoring of residual neuromuscular blockade in patients in the postsurgical ICU is necessary.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the postoperative lung function of patients undergoing neuromuscular block reversal using sugammadex versus neostigmine. The results showed similar lung function with both methods, but patients given sugammadex had more minor pulmonary complications.

Summary: The study found that optimal neuromuscular blockade management in colorectal surgery did not lead to reduced moderate-severe complications, length of hospital stay, or mortality postoperatively within an enhanced recovery program. Reversing neuromuscular blockade with neostigmine was associated with a higher mortality rate compared to using sugammadex.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effect of sugammadex versus a combination of glycopyrrolate and neostigmine on neuromuscular reversal blockage and transient postoperative urinary retention (TPOUR) in patients undergoing laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Summary: Sugammadex dose titration is necessary for effective reversal of neuromuscular blockade after rocuronium administration. Most patients require less than the recommended dose, but some may need more, and recurrent paralysis can occur.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effect of sugammadex and neostigmine on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) within the first 24 hours after general anesthesia. The retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery in Seoul, South Korea. The results showed that sugammadex had a significantly lower incidence of PONV compared to neostigmine/glycopyrrolate. In conclusion, the use of sugammadex decreases the risk of PONV within the first 24 hours after general anesthesia.

Summary: Nonoperative time (NOT) is a crucial factor in the operating room that can greatly impact efficiency and satisfaction. Parallel processing and the use of sugammadex can effectively reduce NOT and improve surgeon satisfaction.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of sugammadex on hospital costs and found that it was associated with lower direct costs compared to neostigmine. However, in high-risk patients, sugammadex was associated with higher total costs.
