Facemask ventilation and neuromuscular blockade in anesthetized patients.
To the Editor: In a thought-provoking study, assessing the effects of muscle relaxants on facemask ventilation (FMV) in the anesthetized patients with normal upper airway anatomy, Ikeda et al.1 showed that rocuronium did not deteriorate FMV without airway interventions, and FMV was improved after succinylcholine administration in association with airway dilation during pharyngeal fasciculation....
متن کاملAnaphylaxis to neuromuscular-blocking drugs: all neuromuscular-blocking drugs are not the same.
5 January 2015 I n the current issue of Anesthesiology, Reddy et al.1 report a two-hospital, retrospective, observational, cohort study confirming that anaphylaxis is more common with rocuronium and succinylcholine than with atracurium, a topic that is difficult to assess and was first highlighted in this journal in 2003.2 Although any medication can potentially cause perioperative anaphylaxis,...
متن کاملNeuromuscular blocking drugs in infants and children.
Neuromuscular blocking drugs are valuable adjuncts to the practice of pediatrics. Monitoring of drug effects is technically more difficult in the younger patient. Nevertheless, careful observation of drug effects will improve the usefulness of NMB and safeguard the patient from prolonged weakness. Although there are differences in neuromuscular function with age in the pediatric age range, the ...
متن کاملNeuromuscular blocking drugs in infants and children
Neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs), are given to infants and children for anaesthesia to provide muscle relaxation, to reduce the quantity of anaesthetic agent required and to facilitate controlled ventilation. The effective use of NMBDs in paediatric practice requires a knowledge of certain fundamental differences in the responses of paediatric patients and adults to these drugs, and the phy...
متن کاملThe undesirable effects of neuromuscular blocking drugs.
Neuromuscular blocking drugs are designed to bind to the nicotinic receptor at the neuromuscular junction. However, they also interact with other acetylcholine receptors in the body. Binding to these receptors causes adverse effects that vary with the specificity for the cholinergic receptor in question. Moreover, all neuromuscular blocking drugs may cause hypersensitivity reactions. Often the ...
