The Use of Sugammadex in an Infant with Larsen Syndrome
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
We describe the case ofa 2.5 kg weighing infant with Larsen syndrome that we used sugammadex for reversal of deep neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex was superior to classical reversal agent neostigmine because of the effect on deep neuromuscular blockade and less side effects. Our patient had cervical instability, small for age and also entubation difficulty with facial anomaly. We discussed the use of sugammadex in Larsen syndrome infant. We wanted to have a safer extubation period and administered sugammadex for reversal of deep neuromuscular blockade. This case has an importance about the first time use of sugammadex such a small infant with Larsen syndrome.
