Synergism between atracurium and vecuronium in children.
In 30 children under balanced anaesthesia, we have determined dose-response curves and maintenance requirement of three dose ratio combinations of atracurium and vecuronium (10:1, 4:1 or 1.6:1 on a microgram:microgram basis). Neuromuscular block was monitored by adductor pollicis EMG. An equipotent dose ratio (4:1) was most potent, with a mean (SEM) ED95 of atracurium 95 (6) micrograms kg-1 wit...
متن کاملSynergism between atracurium and vecuronium in infants and children during nitrous oxide-oxygen-alfentanil anaesthesia.
This study was undertaken to see if infants are more sensitive than children to a combination of atracurium and vecuronium in an equipotent dose ratio: (microgram: microgram) 5:1 in infants and 4:1 in children. We studied 15 infants (1-11 months old) and 15 children (3-10 yr old) during nitrous oxide-oxygen-alfentanil anaesthesia. Neuromuscular function was recorded by adductor pollicis EMG. An...
متن کاملAtracurium or vecuronium for MHS patients?
CORRESPONDENCE ATRACURIUM OR VECURONIUM FOR MHS PATIENTS? Sir,—I am writing in regard to comments made by Hunter [1] in her review entitled "Adverse Effects of Neuromuscular Blocking Drugs ", on the use of vecuronium and atracurium in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) patients. She states that "satisfactory use of both agents has been reported in patients susceptible to malignant hyperpy...
متن کاملUse of atracurium and vecuronium in patients with oesophageal varices.
The effects of atracurium (initial dose 0.5 mg kg-1; incremental doses 0.2 mg kg-1) and vecuronium (initial dose 0.1 mg kg-1; incremental doses 0.04 mg kg-1) are described in patients with portal hypertension and some degree of liver dysfunction, and the findings compared with those from normal patients. With these doses there was no evidence of gross resistance to the two neuromuscular blocker...
متن کاملA comparative evaluation of intubating doses of atracurium, d-tubocurarine, pancuronium and vecuronium in children.
To determine the onset and recovery times and haemodynamic effects of intubating doses of atracurium (0.4 mg.kg-1), d-tubocurarine (0.8 mg.kg-1), pancuronium (0.12 mg.kg-1), and vecuronium (0.07 mg.kg-1), sixty-seven children aged one to eight years were studied under halothane and nitrous oxide anaesthesia. The time to maximum twitch depression and the time to recovery to T1/Tc 25 per cent wer...
