Brief Summary:
Sugammadex or neostigmine are given at the end of the surgery to reverse neuro muscular blocking drugs. This study will evaluate whether reversal of NMBD with sugammadex is associated with faster recovery than neostigmine resulting in faster discharge from the operating room (OR) in obese patients with OSA undergoing bariatric surgery. Half of the patients in the study will receive sugammadex and the other half of the patients will receive neostigmine.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Drug: Sugammadex Sodium Drug: Neostigmine Phase 4

Detailed Description:

Sugammadex and neostigmine are Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs(NMBD) reversal agents. Neostigmine - an anticholinesterase is given to reverse NMBD; however reversal of NMBD with neostigmine may be associated with residual neuromuscular blockade in up to 64% patients postoperatively in the post anesthesia care unit. Even mild degrees of residual neuromuscular blockade can have serious clinical consequences in the postoperative period.The severity of OSA often worsens after surgery and patients with OSA are at increased risk for early respiratory complications after extubation and in the PACU. Morbid obesity is associated with critical respiratory complications in patients with OSA.

Sugammadex is a newer NMBD reversal agent that rapidly and completely reverses rocuronium. It is a modified gamma cyclodextrin that forms a complex with the neuromuscular blocking agent rocuronium. It reduces the amount of neuromuscular blocking agent available to bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the neuromuscular junction. It has been shown to more rapidly reverse residual neuromuscular blockade than neostigmine in obese patients without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

This study will evaluate whether reversal of NMBD with sugammadex is associated with faster recovery than neostigmine resulting in faster discharge from the operating room (OR) in obese patients with OSA undergoing bariatric surgery. Half of the patients in the study will receive sugammadex and other half of the patients will receive neostigmine

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Interventional Arm
Interventional Arm will receive sugammadex sodium 2 mg/kg actual body weight, At the end of surgery Sugammadex will be administered when the TOF reveals at least 2 responses
 Drug: Sugammadex Sodium
Sugammadex is a FDA approved newer NMBD reversal agent. But does not use in standard of care in most of institutions This study is designed to compare the impact of reversal of neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex vs. neostigmine on discharge time from the operating room in obese patients with OSA undergoing bariatric surgery
Other Name: Bridion
Active Comparator: Standard drug Arm
standard drug Arm will receive neostigmine 2.5 mg and glycopyrrolate 0.4 mg, At the end of surgery neostigmine and glycopyrrolate will be administered when the TOF reveals at least 2 responses
 Drug: Neostigmine
neostigmine is a FDA approved NMBD reversal drug, uses as standard care drug in most of the institutions. neostigmine use as active comparator to compare with investigational drug Sugammadex in the study.
Other Name: prostigmin
