Background: Animal and other experimental studies have demonstrated increased block time and quality when α- and β-cyclodextrin drugs are combined with local anesthetics. However, to our knowledge, no study has utilized γ-cyclodextrins in such a combination. In the present study, we used an animal model to evaluate the effects of different doses of the combined administration of γ-cyclodextrin (sugammadex) and bupivacaine on the duration of sciatic nerve blocks in rats. Methods: Sciatic nerve blocks were performed with a 0.20 ml mixture in all groups. For the non-experimental groups, this mixture consisted of 0.2 ml saline (Sham group), 0.2 ml sugammadex (Group S), or 0.16 ml bupivacaine 0.5% and 0.04 ml saline (Group B). For the experimental groups, 0.16 ml bupivacaine 0.5% was administered along with 0.01 ml sugammadex and 0.03 ml saline (Group BS1), 0.02 ml sugammadex and 0.02 ml saline (Group BS2), or 0.04 ml sugammadex (Group BS4). Proprioception, nociception, and motor function were evaluated until the sciatic block was completely reversed. Results: Motor, proprioceptive, and nociceptive blockades occurred within 5 min in all experimental groups. In Group BS4, the duration of the motor, proprioceptive, and nociceptive blockades was significantly increased compared with the other experimental groups. However, in Groups BS1 and BS2, only the duration of the nociceptive blockade was significantly increased. Conclusions The combined administration of sugammadex and bupivacaine for sciatic nerve blocks in rats led to a significant increase in the duration of motor, proprioceptive, and nociceptive blockades.
