Economic analysis of sugammadex versus neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade for laparoscopic surgery in China

Table 1 rNMB related complications related inputs

	rNMB related complications			rNMB related complications cost
	rNMB	No rNMB	Sources	Cost (Yuan)	Sources
Pharyngeal dysfunction	28.00%	13.00%	[11]	138.04	KOL
Upper airway obstruction^a	8.42%	1.68%	KOL & [12]	235.62	KOL
Lower airway obstruction^a	1.58%	0.32%	KOL & [12]	1179.61	KOL
Mild-moderate hypoxemia	23.00%	4.00%	[12]	118.92	KOL
Severe hypoxemia	7.00%	1.00%	[12]	777.86	KOL
Respiratory failure	8.00%	1.00%	[12]	27,706.57	KOL & [13]
Muscular weakness	16.00%	1.00%	[12]	1269.89	KOL

^aNote: the literatures reported the incidence rate of airway obstruction in rNMB and no rNMB is 10 and 2% respectively. The KOL reported the percentage of upper airway obstruction and lower airway obstruction are accounted for 84.24 and 15.76% in airway obstruction. Hence, the incidence rate of upper and lower airway obstruction can be calculated
