Sugammadex-induced hypersensitivity reaction in a pediatric patient

Abstract

We report a case of a 3-year-old boy who administered sugammadex and developed an allergic reaction several minutes after the administration. He developed an increase in airway pressures and a decrease in peripheral oxygen saturation; auscultation revealed widespread wheezing in the lungs. He was successfully treated with immediate administration of methylprednisolone, pheniramine, and theophyl-line. We assumed an allergic reaction to sugammadex based on the clinical condition of the patient.
