The combination of sugammadex and desflurane may increase the risk of bronchospasm during general anesthesia

Since our hospital began carrying sugammadex, a period of three months, our Anesthesiology department had three cases of bronchospasm. All three occurred immediately after sugammadex administration during general anesthesia with desflurane maintenance. Two of these cases occurred during routine orthopedic surgery and the other during an uncomplicated hernia repair at a southern VA hospital in the United States.
