Residual neuromuscular blockade following the use of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) can lead to postoperative respiratory complications, including oxygen desaturation, atelectasis, and pneumonia. Sugammadex rapidly reverses steroidal NMBAs by encapsulating them in a highly stable water-soluble complex. This NMBA-sugammadex complex then undergoes renal elimination. In patients with renal insufficiency or failure, concern has been expressed regarding the elimination of the NMBA-sugammadex complex. We present a 19-year-old patient with renal failure who received sugammadex for reversal of neuromuscular blockade. The use of sugammadex in patients with renal dysfunction is discussed and safety concerns are reviewed.
