Sugammadex reversal can make the duration of a rocuronium motor block almost as short acting as a succinylcholine motor block, and sugammadex can also eliminate complications in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit due to residual postoperative muscle paralysis. The goal is improved patient care with decreased costs.

In 1999 the Institute of Medicine published the landmark “To Err is Human” report , which described that adverse events occurred in 3 – 4% of all hospital admissions, and that over 50% of the adverse events were due to preventable medical errors. This hampers care improvement. Mistakes happen in medicine.

Tell the surgeon that the patient needs to have cardiac clearance prior to any general anesthetic, and that the case needs to be done in a hospital setting rather than at a freestanding surgery center. Just do MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care) anesthesia for this case, but make sure he’s asleep.

However, they often lack the granularity needed to reflect the nuances of everyday patient care. These gaps in data collection create challenges in measuring care delivery across diverse contexts, which is why medtech companies are shifting focus toward more inclusive, adaptable collection of real-world data.
