How to dose sugammadex

One of the newest drugs available to some EM provider is Sugammadex.  Trade name, Bridion, the drug functions as a reversal agent for Rocuronium.  An IV bolus of 16 mg/kg over 10 seconds via a central or peripheral line will reverse a single 1.2 mg/kg dose of rocuronium in approximately 3 minutes.  Although rarely used in the emergent setting, keep the dose in the back of your mind or reference on the WikEM app just incase you need to order it.
