An 86-year-old woman was scheduled to receive fourth reconstructive surgery for femoral bone fracture under general anesthesia. She had been suspected with narrow angle glaucoma due to headache and bloodshot eyes during gastroscopy. During transfer to our hospital, she fell down and suffered from the right femoral neck fracture. The patient underwent femoral head replacement under spinal anesthesia. Later, she received surgeries twice uneventfully under spinal anesthesia ; removal and re-implantation of the femoral bone head due to infection of the implanted head. Six months later, she fell down again and femoral bone was fractured during rehabilitation. Anesthesia was induced with propofol followed by rocuronium 0.9 mg(middle dot)kg(-1) iv. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and remifentanil, and rocuronium was administered to maintain PTC of 10 or less. The surgery was completed in 150 minutes. At the end of surgery, a laryngeal mask was inserted and the tracheal tube was removed. TOF ratio recovered to 80% 8 minutes after sugammadex 2 mg(middle dot)kg (-1) iv, and increased to 100% 3 minutes after additional 1 mg(middle dot)kg(-1). Intraocular pressure stayed below 20 mmHg during the intervention. We could achieve full reversal of neuromuscular blockade and suppress increase in intraocular pressure with use of sugammadex.
