Recovery characteristics following antagonism of atracurium with neostigmine or edrophonium.
The evoked reversal characteristics of atracurium were studied in 21 patients using edrophonium or neostigmine and a train-of-four pattern of stimulation. Reversal of residual atracurium -induced neuromuscular blockade was significantly more rapid using edrophonium compared with neostigmine. The ratio of the fourth twitch in the train-of-four to the first twitch--the T4 ratio--was significantly...
متن کاملRecovery of spontaneous breathing following neuromuscular blockade with atracurium.
Atracurium 0.3 mg kg-1 was given to two groups of patients to compare the recovery of spontaneous breathing with that of peripheral neuromuscular function. Anaesthesia was maintained in one group (n = 6) with an infusion of etomidate (mean flow rate 24 micrograms kg-1 min-1) and in the other group (n = 5) with 0.5% halothane. From the time of discontinuing ventilation, about 5 min after the rea...
متن کاملAtracurium and intraocular pressure.
The effect of atracurium on intraocular pressure was studied by comparing it with pancuronium in a randomised controlled trial. The intraocular pressure was measured in patients undergoing cataract surgery before administration of the muscle relaxant, at 1, 3, and 5 minutes after its administration, and at 1 minute after tracheal intubation. Atracurium was found to decrease intraocular pressure...
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 کاملHypersensitivity Reaction to Local Anesthetic in Dentistry: A Case Report
Background and Aim: Local anesthesia plays an important role in dentistry. Although hypersensitivity reactions to local anesthetic drugs are rare,but they are more common in dental cartridge components. This study reports a rare case of hypersensitivity to components of local anesthesia cartridge. Case Report: A 61-year-old female patient referred to The Medical Council to complain the dentist ...
