The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing da Vinci surgery and to observe whether the incidence of PPCs was affected by the usage of Sugammadex. Sugammadex is a gamma-cyclodextrin that encapsulates and subsequently inactivates steroidal neuromuscular blocking agents. A retrospective study was conducted on patients who had undergone da Vinci surgery in a single medical center in southern Taiwan during the period from January 2018 to December 2018. We extracted data on patient characteristics, usage of Sugammadex and PPCs for analysis. Three hundred and thirty-three patients were enrolled in the final analysis. While the overall incidence of PPCs was 30.3% (101\/333 patients), the incidence of PCC in patients who received Sugammadex (24.2%) was significantly lower than those without (37.3%) (p = 0.001). Risk factors that appeared to be closely associated with PCC included age, malignancy, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, blood loss amount and anemia. The use of Sugammadex decreased the risk of PPC. In order to enhance early recovery after da Vinci surgery, the use of Sugammadex to rapidly reverse muscle relaxants may be an appropriate choice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm12010052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,7]],"date-time":"2022-01-07T01:14:02Z","timestamp":1641518042000},"page":"52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Strategy to Use Sugammadex to Reduce Postoperative Pulmonary Complications after da Vinci Surgery: A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kuang-I.","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Kaohsiung 807, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine, College of Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung 807, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jockey","family":"Tse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Kaohsiung 807, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3526-1676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tzu-Ying","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Kaohsiung 807, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine, College of Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung 807, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"784","DOI":"10.1016\/S1072-7515(02)01750-7","article-title":"Robotics in surgery","volume":"196","author":"Bann","year":"2003","journal-title":"J.
