Atracurium in the bard alfentanil pump

Synergism between atracurium and vecuronium in infants and children during nitrous oxide-oxygen-alfentanil anaesthesia.

This study was undertaken to see if infants are more sensitive than children to a combination of atracurium and vecuronium in an equipotent dose ratio: (microgram: microgram) 5:1 in infants and 4:1 in children. We studied 15 infants (1-11 months old) and 15 children (3-10 yr old) during nitrous oxide-oxygen-alfentanil anaesthesia. Neuromuscular function was recorded by adductor pollicis EMG. An...

BARD: Better Automated Redistricting

BARD is the first (and at time of writing, only) open source software package for general redistricting and redistricting analysis. BARD provides methods to create, display, compare, edit, automatically refine, evaluate, and profile political districting plans. BARD aims to provide a framework for scientific analysis of redistricting plans and to facilitate wider public participation in the cre...

Atracurium in infants and children.

For atracurium, as for other neuromuscular blocking agents, the determination of potency in children has been assessed using the evoked response of the adductor muscle of the thumb. This response has been evaluated either by an electromyogram (EMG) or by a recording of the force of contraction through a force displacement transducer. The method of stimulation was either the train-of-four (2 Hz,...
