Postoperative Respiratory Complications According to Neuromuscular Block Reversal After MICS

Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital1,216 enrolled

Overview

Postoperative respiratory complications according to the type of drug (sugammadex, pyridostigmine) used for reversible neuromuscular block when extubating an endotracheal tube in the operating room after minimally invasive cardiac surgery, and the length of intensive care unit stay are going to be checked. Through these results, it will be investigated whether the use of rocuronium-sugarmadex for neuromuscular block and reversal in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery is clinically useful.

The enhanced recovery after surgery program (ERAS program) has been introduced across several surgical fields, and its benefits are well known, mainly in perioperative colorectal surgery, pancreatic surgery, urology and gynecology surgery. On the other hand, although there are suggestions for an early recovery program after surgery in the field of cardiac surgery, it is still in its infancy. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery has advantages over open thoracic surgery, such as faster recovery, less bleeding and transfusion, and a reduction in the frequency of arrhythmias, making it suitable for applying an early recovery program after surgery. For an early recovery program after surgery, a multidisciplinary approach is required throughout the surgery period, and among them, early endotracheal extubation, which has been emphasized before, is known to reduce hospital stay and mortality. In addition, such early endotracheal extubation includes extubation of the endotracheal tube in the operating room immediately after completion of surgery as well as within 6 hours of entering the intensive care unit after the end of surgery. For the reversibility of neuromuscular block, neostigmine, pyridostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, or sugammadex, a selective neuromuscular blocker binding agent, are mainly used. It is known to reduce the incidence of pulmonary complications. However, there is no study on the frequency of postoperative respiratory complications following neuromuscular block and reversibility using the Rocuronium-Sugarmadex combination in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
