Effectiveness and sequelae of very low-dose suxamethonium for nasal intubation.
We have studied the effectiveness and sequelae of low-dose suxamethonium in 60 day-case oral surgery patients requiring nasal intubation. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and alfentanil; 60 patients were allocated randomly to three groups of 20 patients and received no suxamethonium, suxamethonium 0.25 mg kg-1 or 0.5 mg kg-1. All patients received i.v. fentanyl and diclofenac 100 mg rectal...
متن کاملSuxamethonium infusion rate and observed fasciculations. A dose-response study.
Suxamethonium chloride (Sch) was administered i.v. to 36 adult males at six rates: 0.25 mg s-1 to 20 mg s-1. The infusion was discontinued either when there was no muscular response to tetanic stimulation of the ulnar nerve or when Sch 120 mg was exceeded. Six additional patients received a 30-mg i.v. bolus dose. Fasciculations in six areas of the body were scored from 0 to 3 and summated as a ...
متن کاملEffect of a small dose of propofol or ketamine to prevent coughing and laryngospasm in children awakening from general anesthesia
BACKGROUND Coughing during emergence from general anesthesia may be detrimental in children. We compared the effect of a small dose of propofol or ketamine administered at the end of sevoflurane anesthesia on the incidence or severity of coughing in children undergoing a minimal invasive operation. METHODS One hundred and eighteen children aged between 3 and 15 years, American Society of Anes...
متن کاملDose-response studies of the interaction between mivacurium and suxamethonium.
We have determined the effect of pretreatment with mivacurium on the potency of suxamethonium and the effect of prior administration of suxamethonium on the potency of mivacurium. We studied 100 ASA I or II patients during thiopentone-fentanyl-nitrous oxide-isoflurane anaesthesia. Neuromuscular block was recorded as the evoked thenar mechanomyographic response to train-of-four stimulation of th...
متن کاملThe effects of other drugs on the stimulation of laryngospasm in the cat: atropine; thiopentone, suxamethonium; local analgesics.
The effects of atropine, thiopentone, suxamethonium and local analgesics on the stimulation of laryngospasm were studied in anaesthetized and decerebrate cats. Atropine and thiopentone had no significant effect on the laryngeal reflex in these preparations. Suxamethonium prevented laryngospasm by paralyzing the intrinsic laryngeal muscles. The use of local analgesic sprays in the pharynx and la...
