ABSTRACT
Muscle relaxation using neuromuscular blocking agent is an essential process for endotracheal intubation and surgery, and requires adequate recovery of muscle function after surgery. Residual neuromuscular blockade is defined as an insufficient neuromuscular recovery that can be prevented by confirming train-of-four ratio >0.9 using objective neuromuscular monitoring. Sugammadex, a novel selective relaxant-binding agent, produces rapid and effective reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade. We report a case of the residual neuromuscular blockade accompanying dyspnea and stridor after general anesthesia in an unrecognized pre-existing symptomless unilateral vocal cord paralysis patient, who had experienced the disappearance of dyspnea and stridor after administration of sugammadex.
