Abstract

In an elderly patient with known cardiac and pulmonary risk, a reversal agent with a faster onset and least hemodynamic effects is preferable. Being inert, the sugammadex–rocuronium complex is associated with minimal muscarinic effects. We report a successful management with rocuronium and sugammadex in an eighty three year old male patient with a history of Ischemic Heart Disease, atrial fibrillation, and Interstitial Lung Disease posted for a cochlear implant surgery.
