Use of sugammadex in lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of sugammadex, compared with pyridostigmine, showed a significantly reduced overall incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and decreased duration of chest tube use and postoperative hospital stay in patients undergoing VATS lobectomy, suggesting that sugammadex might be helpful in improving clinical outcomes in such patients.
