Anaphylaxis developing with sugammadeks in pediatric case

Anaphylaxis developing with sugammadeks in pediatric case

Bronchospasm developed in a 21-month-old that underwent bronchoscopy due to foreign body aspiration immediately after sugammadex which was applied for short-term decurarization. We thought this was due to anaphylaxis. Periph-eral oxygen saturation and pulse decreased, breathing pattern disturbed, and a rash appeared on upper part of the body and the face in the patient. Deep seda-tion was achieved and the patient was treated with methylprednisolone, pheni-ramine, theophylline, and inhaler bronchodilator application.
