Effectiveness of Sugammadex on Muscle Relaxant Reversal in Preterm Neonates
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary aim of the work is to compare the efficacy of Sugammadex and neostigmine in reversing rocuronium-induced muscle relaxation to reach complete recovery of neuromuscular block (TOF ratio≥ 0.9) in preterm neonates.
The secondary aim is to evaluate the safety of using Sugammadex in preterm neonates and to detect any complications that may occur in this age group.

Active Comparator: (Group N) patients in this group will receive 0.02 mg/kg atropine with neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg IV. to reverse the action of the neuromuscular blocker given. |
Drug: Neostigmine
give 0.02 mg/ kg atropine and 0.05 mg/kg neostigmine IV. as muscle reversal drug in premature infants
|
Experimental: (Group S) the patients will receive Sugammadex 2mg/kg IV. As the reversal agent |
Drug: Sugammadex
give 2 mg/ kg as muscle reversal drug in premature infants

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of reversal [immediately after the surgery]
Reversal time which is defined as time in seconds from the start of administration of sugammadex or neostigmine to recovery of TOF ratio to 0.9
- Evaluation of recovery [immediately after the surgery]
Time for modified Aldrete score to reach 10
Secondary Outcome Measures
- number of patients with Complications [immediately after the surgery]
any complication during recovery will be noted
