The objective of the trial was to establish the dose-response relation of sugammadex (Org 25969) given as a reversal agent of rocuronium or vecuronium at 1-2 PTC during sevoflurane anesthesia for Japanese participants.

After induction of anesthesia an intubation dose of a neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) was administered IV: either 0.9 mg/kg rocuronium (arms 1-5) or 0.1 mg/kg vecuronium (arms 6-10). Maintenance doses of 0.1-0.2 mg/kg rocuronium IV or 0.02-0.04 mg/kg vecuronium IV could be administered if necessary. At reappearance of T2 the randomized single dose of sugammadex (0.5 to 8.0 mg/kg) IV was administered.
Time From Start of Sugammadex Administration to Recovery of the Neuromuscular Response to a Ratio of 0.9 for Train-Of-Four (TOF) Stimulation
Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive Train-Of-Four (TOF) electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 and T4 refer to the amplitudes (heights) of the first and fourth twitches, respectively, after TOF nerve stimulation. The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from neuromuscular blockade (NMB). In this study, twitch responses were recorded until the T4/T1 Ratio reached \>= 0.9, the minimum acceptable ratio that indicated recovery from NMB. A faster time to recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.9 indicates a faster recovery from NMB.
Time frame: Up to 269:45 (min:sec)
Time From Start of Sugammadex Administration to Recovery of the Neuromuscular Response to a Ratio of 0.7 for TOF Stimulation
Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive TOF electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 and T4 refer to the amplitudes (heights) of the first and fourth twitches, respectively, after TOF nerve stimulation. The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from NMB. A faster time to recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.7 indicates a faster recovery from NMB.
Time frame: Up to 152:30 (min:sec)
Time From Start of Sugammadex Administration to Recovery of the Neuromuscular Response to a Ratio of 0.8 for TOF Stimulation
Neuromuscular functioning was monitored by applying repetitive TOF electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve every 15 seconds and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 and T4 refer to the amplitudes (heights) of the first and fourth twitches, respectively, after TOF nerve stimulation. The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from NMB. A faster time to recovery of the T4/T1 Ratio to 0.8 indicates a faster recovery from NMB.
