Stay Alert for Sugammadex Requests in NON-Perioperative Areas
March 2024
Requests for sugammadex are cropping up in NONsurgical areas to reverse rocuronium or vecuronium after intubation.
We’re used to seeing sugammadex as an option to reverse these neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) after some surgical procedures.
But non-perioperative use can be tricky. Data in this setting are limited...and policies may not address use yet. Plus sugammadex is about $130 for a 200 mg vial...or $240 for a 500 mg vial.
