Safety of Sugammadex for the Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade in American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Class 3 or 4 Participants (MK-8616-145)

Following administration of NMBA (Rocuronium or Vecuronium) to achieve moderate NMB, participants received a single i.v. bolus of Sugammadex 2 mg/kg for reversal of moderate NMB. Moderate block is a level of NMB in which peripheral nerve stimulation elicits one to four muscle twitches.

Following administration of NMBA (Rocuronium or Vecuronium) to achieve deep NMB, participants received a single i.v. bolus of Sugammadex 4 mg/kg for reversal of deep NMB. Deep block is a level of NMB in which peripheral nerve stimulation elicits no muscle twitches and high-frequency muscle stimulation elicits minimal levels of muscle contraction.

Following administration of NMBA (Rocuronium) to achieve deep NMB, participants received a single i.v. bolus of Sugammadex 16 mg/kg for reversal of deep NMB. Deep block is a level of NMB in which peripheral nerve stimulation elicits no muscle twitches and high-frequency muscle stimulation elicits minimal levels of muscle contraction.

Following administration of NMBA (Rocuronium or Vecuronium) to achieve moderate NMB, participants received a single i.v. bolus of Neostigmine (50 μg/kg; 5 mg maximum) and Glycopyrrolate (10 μg/kg; 1 mg maximum) for reversal of moderate NMB. Moderate block is a level of NMB in which peripheral nerve stimulation elicits one to four muscle twitches.

To achieve NMB, participants received steroidal NMBA Rocuronium Bromide administered via IV infusion and dosed according to participant body weight. NMBAs were concomitant medications used per label and at Investigator's discretion as an adjunct to general anesthesia.
