Brief Summary

Cholinesterase inhibitors such as Neostigmine and Edrophonium have been used to reverse neuromuscular blockade after surgery. However, these drugs have a relatively slow onset and have adverse effects associated with stimulation of muscarinic receptors. In addition, neostigmine cannot be used to reverse profound blockade. Anesthetics may exert their effects on various facets of cerebral function such as cerebral metabolic rate (CMRO2), cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood flow-metabolism coupling, intra cranial pressure (ICP), autoregulation, vascular response to CO2 and brain electrical activity. The net result of all these effects of the anaesthetic agents combined with their systemic effects may prove beneficial or detrimental to an already diseased brain. In neurosurgical patients, clear and rapid recovery is required to early assess the neurological status and to maintain the cerebral oxygenation and metabolism within the normal physiological values which may be saved by sugammadex.
