| Abstract: | A case is reported in which a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy received a dose of sugammadex to reverse a rocuronium‐induced profound neuromuscular block. Sugammadex is the first selective relaxant binding agent and reverses rocuronium‐ and vecuronium‐induced neuromuscular block. A fast and efficient recovery from profound neuromuscular block was achieved, and no adverse events or other safety concerns were observed. |
