The role of histamine in the cardiovascular effects of atracurium.
We have investigated the effect of a bolus injection of atracurium 0.6 mg kg-1 on the cardiovascular system in 16 patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass surgery. H1- and H2-receptor antagonists were administered to eight patients before the neuromuscular blocker. A standard anaesthetic was used comprising fentanyl, flunitrazepam, etomidate and enflurane. After administration of atracurium, ha...
متن کاملAnesthesiologist suicide with atracurium.
Atracurium is a nondepolarizing skeletal muscle relaxant used to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to induce skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. The drug undergoes a spontaneous non-enzymatic biotransformation, yielding laudanosine and an acrylate moiety. This report documents the case of a 45-year-old anesthesiologist who was found dead at the hospital whe...
متن کاملHistamine release during the administration of atracurium or vecuronium in children.
The histamine releasing potential of equivalent bolus doses of atracurium 0.6 mg kg-1 or vecuronium 0.12 mg kg-1 was evaluated in 20 children anaesthetized with halothane. Blood samples were obtained before, and at 2 and 5 min after the administration of the neuromuscular blocker. The twitch response to 0.15 Hz was also evaluated. None of the 10 patients receiving vecuronium had a significant i...
متن کاملNeuromuscular efficacy and histamine-release hemodynamic changes produced by rocuronium versus atracurium: a comparative study.
BACKGROUND Rocuronium and atracurium are muscle relaxants used for short-and intermediate-duration surgical procedures. This study compares rocuronium and atracurium with regard to neuromuscular efficacy, hemodynamic changes, and their effects on plasma histamine concentration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty adult patients scheduled for general surgical operations lasting less than 120 minutes w...
متن کاملAre hypotension and rash after atracurium really caused by histamine release?
A prospective, randomized, double-blind study was performed in 40 patients (ASA class I-III) treated with atracurium to ascertain whether histamine release caused hemodynamic or cutaneous changes. The treated group of 20 patients was premedicated with the H1 antagonist dimetindene (0.2 mg/kg) and the H2 antagonist ranitidine (1.25 mg/kg); the control group of 20 patients received saline. Six mi...
