Epidurally administered mepivacaine delays recovery of train-of-four ratio from vecuronium-induced neuromuscular block.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of epidurally administered mepivacaine on recovery from vecuronium-induced neuromuscular block. METHODS Eighty patients were randomly assigned to one of two study groups. They were either given epidurally a bolus of 0.15 ml kg(-1) of mepivacaine 2%, followed by repetitive injections of 0.1 ml kg(-1) h(-1) throughout the study, or we...
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 کاملEffect of tetanic stimulation on subsequent train-of-four responses at various levels of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular block.
Tetanic stimulation influences subsequent neuromuscular responses. In addition, the tetanus-induced changes in neuromuscular responses differ according to the level of neuromuscular block at which tetanic stimulation is delivered. We studied the tetanus-induced effect on subsequent train-of-four (TOF) responses at various levels of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular block in 45 anaesthetized pati...
متن کاملComparison of visual and measured train-of-four recovery after vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade using two anaesthetic techniques.
This study evaluated train-of-four recovery after the administration of vecuronium, comparing measured with visually observed responses. Responses to supramaximal stimuli of the ulnar nerves were measured by a force transducer, and compared with visually observed movements of the contralateral thumb. For the 10 patients anaesthetized with nitrous oxide and enflurane, the second, third and fourt...
متن کاملReappearance of the train-of-four after neuromuscular blockade induced with tubocurarine, vecuronium or atracurium.
The characteristics of train-of-four recovery after atracurium or vecuronium were studied, under enflurane anaesthesia, and compared with those associated with tubocurarine-induced blockade. Ten patients each received vecuronium 0.1 mg kg-1, atracurium 0.5 mg kg-1 or tubocurarine 0.5 mg kg-1. Neuromuscular blockade was calculated as the percent depression of the first twitch, and was determined...
