Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of recovery after sugammadex or neostigmine reversal of rocuronium in geriatric patients undergoing spine surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
To evaluate the effect of sugammadex compared with neostigmine on speed and quality of recovery after rocuronium neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in geriatric patients undergoing posterior lumbar spine surgery. ⋯ Sugammadex reversal significantly hastened NMB recovery compared with neostigmine reversal in geriatric patients. It significantly decreased operating room time but not PACU time or hospital stay.
