Synergism between atracurium and vecuronium in children.
In 30 children under balanced anaesthesia, we have determined dose-response curves and maintenance requirement of three dose ratio combinations of atracurium and vecuronium (10:1, 4:1 or 1.6:1 on a microgram:microgram basis). Neuromuscular block was monitored by adductor pollicis EMG. An equipotent dose ratio (4:1) was most potent, with a mean (SEM) ED95 of atracurium 95 (6) micrograms kg-1 wit...
متن کاملAtracurium or vecuronium for MHS patients?
CORRESPONDENCE ATRACURIUM OR VECURONIUM FOR MHS PATIENTS? Sir,—I am writing in regard to comments made by Hunter [1] in her review entitled "Adverse Effects of Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs ", on the use of vecuronium and atracurium in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) patients. She states that "satisfactory use of both agents has been reported in patients susceptible to malignant hyperpy...
متن کاملUse of atracurium and vecuronium in patients with oesophageal varices.
The effects of atracurium (initial dose 0.5 mg kg-1; incremental doses 0.2 mg kg-1) and vecuronium (initial dose 0.1 mg kg-1; incremental doses 0.04 mg kg-1) are described in patients with portal hypertension and some degree of liver dysfunction, and the findings compared with those from normal patients. With these doses there was no evidence of gross resistance to the two neuromuscular blocker...
متن کاملAccelerated recovery from combined atracurium-vecuronium neuromuscular block.
Patients given combinations of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs have been reported to recover from neuromuscular block more rapidly than patients given a single drug. This study was designed to assess if this phenomenon occurred with the combination of atracurium and vecuronium. During nitrous oxide-fentanyl anaesthesia, 30 adult patients were allocated randomly to receive atracuri...
متن کاملComparison of duration of neuromuscular blocking effect of atracurium and vecuronium in young and elderly patients.
In a controlled, randomized study, we evaluated duration of neuromuscular block in 80 patients undergoing routine abdominal surgery. Forty patients were aged 18-50 yr (control group) and 40 patients were more than 65 yr (elderly group). All patients had normal plasma creatinine concentrations. After induction of anaesthesia, patients were allocated randomly to receive either atracurium 0.5 mg k...
