How Does Sugammadex Compare to Other Reversal Agents?
Sugammadex offers several advantages over traditional reversal agents like neostigmine. Unlike neostigmine, which works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and increasing acetylcholine levels, sugammadex directly encapsulates the muscle relaxant, leading to a faster and more predictable recovery. Additionally, sugammadex does not require the co-administration of anticholinergic agents, reducing the risk of associated side effects such as bradycardia and excessive salivation.
