Use of Sugammadex in an octagenerian with Myaesthenia Gravis undergoing emergency laporotomy

Myaesthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder that results in increased sensitivity to neuromuscular blockers. Anaesthesia and surgery in patients with Myaesthenia Gravis is associated with an increased incidence of complications, including post operative ventilation. We report the successful use of intra-operative train of four ratio monitoring and Sugammadex to reverse rocuronium induced neuromuscular blockade in an elderly octagenarian with Myaesthenia Gravis undergoing an emergency laporotomy.
