Reversal with Sugammadex in the Absence of Monitoring Did Not Preclude Residual Neuromuscular Block

This study demonstrated that the risk of TOFR <0.9 after tracheal extubation after sugammadex remains as high as 9.4% in a clinical setting in which neuromuscular monitoring (objective or subjective) was not used. Our finding underscores the importance of neuromuscular monitoring even when sugammadex is used for antagonism of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block.
