Possible augmentation of neuromuscular blockade by propofol during recovery from rocuronium.
Propofol is a widely used drug in anesthesia practice, and its pharmacological characteristics are well known. However, propofol is not known for neuromuscular effects. As part of clinical neuromuscular monitoring, the neuromuscular responses to train-of-four (TOF) stimulation were monitored and recorded. We observed, in two cases of balanced anesthesia maintained by desflurane and fentanyl, that administration of a small dose of propofol during almost complete recovery from rocuronium in two patients resulted in marked decreases of both T1 (first twitch response of the TOF) and the TOF ratio. This neuromuscular block dissipated in both patients without any subsequent neuromuscular effects. These two observations provide visual confirmation of the possible impact of propofol on recovery from a rocuronium neuromuscular blockade.

Successful use of rocuronium and sugammadex in an anticipated difficult airway scenario.
Neuromuscular blocking agents are often avoided in anticipated difficult airway scenarios. However to facilitate jet ventilation, muscle relaxants are useful. We report a case of a potentially threatened airway in a 21-year-old with a large infraglottic pedunculated polyp. In this case rocuronium was used on induction to facilitate subsequent jet ventilation and periglottic laser ablation of the tumour As the duration of the surgery was not predictable, the intention was to use sugammadex at the end to ensure complete reversal of muscle relaxation. This strategy also provided a quick rescue option if there was a sudden loss of the airway.
