The Incidence of hypotension with continuous infusion atracurium compared to cisatracurium in the Intensive Care Unit
BACKGROUND A drug shortage of cisatracurium led to use of atracurium as an alternative neuromuscular blocker (NMB). Cisatracurium may be preferred due to less histamine release and potentially less hypotension. The study purpose is to compare the incidence of hypotension with continuous infusion atracurium to continuous infusion cisatracurium in ICU patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retros...
متن کاملClinical pharmacology of mivacurium chloride (BW B1090U) infusion: comparison with vecuronium and atracurium.
Mivacurium chloride (BW B1090U) is a new, short-acting non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It is a synthetic bis-benzylisoquinolinium diester, which is hydrolysed rapidly by plasma cholinesterase. This study compares mivacurium, atracurium and vecuronium by continuous i.v. infusion. The duration of mivacurium infusion ranged from 29.5 to 286 min. The steady state infusion rates neces...
متن کاملInfusion of atracurium in neonates, infants and children. A study of dose requirements.
The doses of atracurium (by infusion) required to maintain steady-state (90-95%) neuromuscular block were assessed in 75 children aged 9 days to 17 yr during balanced anaesthesia. Following the intubating dose of atracurium 0.4 mg kg-1 and after the recovery of single twitch to 5-10% of control (monitored by evoked EMG of hypothenar muscle), an infusion of atracurium 0.5 mg kg-1 h-1 was started...
متن کاملRecovery of neuromuscular function after infusion or intermittent bolus doses of atracurium or vecuronium.
Neuromuscular block and postoperative recovery of grip strength and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were compared in patients receiving atracurium or vecuronium administered by continuous infusion or intermittent bolus doses. The same total dose of atracurium (0.92-0.98 mg kg-1) or vecuronium (0.16-0.18 mg kg-1) was given by both methods. A similar degree of neuromuscular block was attained in all g...
متن کاملClinical experience and plasma laudanosine concentrations during the infusion of atracurium in the intensive therapy unit.
Twenty patients in the intensive care unit received an infusion of atracurium to permit mechanical ventilation. The duration of infusion ranged from 38 to 219 h and the average rate of infusion during the study was 0.76 mg kg-1 h-1. In 14 patients an increase in atracurium requirement occurred within the first 72 h of the infusion. Recovery from neuromuscular blockade after a prolonged infusion...
