RECURARIZATION AFTER ACUTE INTRAOPERATIVE NORMOVOLEMIC HEMODILUTION AND USE OF SUGAMMADEX

Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a blood conservation procedure that can be used in cases of refusal of blood transfusion for religious reasons. Herein, we describe a case of recurarization after reinfusion of collected blood. A combination of rocuronium/sugammadex has the potential to increase the safety of patients if ANH is done after induction. Prospective controlled studies evaluating this unique indication for sugammadex use are thus warranted.
