Improvement of suspected rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis after sugammadex administration: A case report

Abstract

Abstract:Although rare, anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions during anesthesia may result in fatal outcomes. A 26-year-old male patient was scheduled to undergo septoplasty to correct a septal deviation. The patient's preoperative medical history and laboratory findings revealed no specific abnormalities. Anesthesia was induced with propofol and rocuronium. Following the intravenous injection of additional rocuronium, hypotension, tachycardia, and pink frothy secretions within the endotracheal tube were observed. The patient's vital signs and pulmonary edema improved after the administration of sugammadex.
