ABSTRACT
Residual paralysis, recurarization is defined as a remnant effect of neuromuscular blocking after surgery that can cause postoperative complications. Clinical complications of recurarization include dyspnea, gastric content aspiration, and atelectasis. Therefore, complete recovery of muscle strength at the end of surgery is a significant factor for patient safety. We report a case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with residual paralysis after total thyroidectomy. To improve her condition, we injected sugammadex intravenously in the post-anesthetic care unit. After that, we observed her for 1 hour and her muscle strength gradually recovered. She did not have any symptoms on the next day and was discharged on the 5th post-operative day.
