Myotonic Dystrophy and Volvulus: Anesthetic Considerations For an Urgent Situation And the Role of Sugammadex; A Case Report
Authors
Abstract
Myotonic dystrophy (MD), although not a common disorder, is a challenge for anesthesiologists as it restricts choices of medication and involves some organs other than muscles. Here we report a known case of MD underwent laparatomy for bowel obstruction. Anesthesia was induced rapidly and muscle relaxation achieved by using high dose of rocuronium. Reversal of muscle relaxation was done with sugammadex successfully with no residual relaxation. Rocuronium could be used as a safe mean of rapid muscle relaxation in MD and reversal could be achieved with sugammadex.
