Abstract

The use of sugammadex for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade after caesarean section is nowadays common practice, but concerns exist about its use in pregnant women undergoing non-obstetric surgery. We report six cases of pregnant women submitted to general anesthesia for non-obstetric surgery in which neuromuscular blockade was reversed with sugammadex. We followed the outcome of both mother and baby during and after delivery. Sugammadex seemed to be a safe option for both mother and baby but more reports are necessary to fill the evidence gap and increase the global knowledge about its safety in this special group of patients.

Resumo

O uso de sugamadex para reversão do bloqueio neuromuscular induzido por rocurônio após cesariana é prática comum atualmente, mas existem preocupações quanto ao seu uso em gestantes submetidas a cirurgias não obstétricas. Relatamos seis casos de gestantes submetidas à anestesia geral para cirurgia não obstétrica em que o bloqueio neuromuscular foi revertido com sugamadex. Acompanhamos o resultado da mãe e do bebê durante e após o parto. Sugamadex parecia ser uma opção segura tanto para a mãe quanto para o bebê, mas são necessários mais relatórios para preencher a lacuna de evidências e aumentar o conhecimento global sobre sua segurança neste grupo especial de pacientes.
