Description
Hiroyuki Miura and colleagues report a frightening relapse of muscle paralysis after lung surgery in a 2026 case paper. An 82-year-old man had part of his left lung removed for squamous cell cancer, and the team reversed his muscle relaxant drug with sugammadex before he returned to the ward apparently recovered.
Thirty-five minutes later he suddenly stopped breathing. Scans of chest and head showed nothing wrong, pointing to the relaxant's effect returning, a rare event called recurarization. A fresh dose of sugammadex restored him promptly. The authors note this is the first such report after lung cancer surgery and urge keeping the reversal drug within reach.
