Reversal of Neuromusclar Blockade and Simultaneous Increase in Plasma Rocuronium Concentration after the Intravenous Infusion of the Novel Reversal Agent Org 25970

Abstract

The authors propose that the capture of rocuronium by Org 25969 causes the rapid reversal of neuromuscular block. The reversal can be explained by the rapid transfer of free rocuronium from the effect compartment (neuromuscular junction) to the central compartment, in which it is bound to Org 25969. This explains the increase in total plasma concentration of rocuronium (free and bound to Org 25969).
