title: [Extremely prolonged neuromuscular block after a single dose of rocuronium].
abstract: Postoperative curarization in patients has been established. Nevertheless, extremely prolonged neuromuscular blockades are rare. We report the case of a prolonged neuromuscular blockade (lasting 10 hours) following a single dose of rocuronium, in an elderly patient with severe renal failure. We have studied the possible causes of prolonged curarization, and discussed the interest of the use of sugammadex in such cases.
