Abstract
We report in this clinical case the successful use of a combination of rocuronium and sugammadex in a patient with Steinert myotonic dystrophy to perform a rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia. The patient had both contraindication to succinylcholine and a risk of prolonged neuromuscular blockade with non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents. The use of high dose rocuronium (1mg/kg) allowed a quick and easy orotracheal intubation but induced a prolonged neuromuscular block, reversed with success by sugammadex (8mg/kg).
