Sugammadex: Time to Fast-tracking Cardiac Surgery

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Sugammadex is a recent innovation which provides scope for fast tracking and enhanced recovery following cardiac surgery. It can reverse profound neuromuscular blockade induced by either vecuronium or rocuronium. Moreover, the reversal by sugammadex is faster and reliable. However, it needs neuromuscular monitoring which can add financial burden to the hospital. Furthermore, its efficacy has not been explored in various cardiac surgeries. Therefore, the authors planned to review sugammadex in fast-tracking cardiac surgeries.
