Neuromuscular blockade in the elderly patient
Neuromuscular blockade is a desirable or even essential component of general anesthesia for major surgical operations. As the population continues to age, and more operations are conducted in the elderly, due consideration must be given to neuromuscular blockade in these patients to avoid possible complications. This review considers the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of neuromuscular bl...

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) have been widely used to control patients who need to be immobilized for some kind of medical intervention, such as an invasive procedure or synchronism with mechanical ventilation. The purpose of this monograph is to review the pharmacology of the NMBAs, to compare the main differences between the neuromuscular junction in neonates, infants, toddlers and a...

A the key innovations of critical care medicine is treatment directed by continuously measured objective physiologic data. A prime example is the dosing of vasopressors using continuous measurements of systemic arterial pressure acquired from an indwelling arterial catheter. Similarly, the settings of mechanical ventilators are based on pressure and volume measurements of airway gases and arter...
متن کاملProfile of sugammadex for reversal of neuromuscular blockade in the elderly: current perspectives
The number of elderly patients is increasing worldwide. This will have a significant impact on the practice of anesthesia in future decades. Anesthesiologists must provide care for an increasing number of elderly patients, who have an elevated risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Complications related to postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade, such as muscle weakness, airway ob...
