Bradycardia and vecuronium: comparison with alcuronium during cholecystectomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have compared the incidence of bradycardia in two groups of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Twenty consecutive patients were allocated randomly to receive either vecuronium (n = 8) or alcuronium (n = 12) as part of a standard anaesthetic technique. Bradycardia was defined as a heart rate less than 50 beat min-1. Five episodes of bradycardia occurred with vecuronium and none with alcuronium (P less than 0.01).

Rocuronium: high risk for anaphylaxis?
Patients suspected of anaphylaxis during anaesthesia have been referred to the senior author's clinic since 1974 for investigation. Since release of rocuronium on to the worldwide market, concern has been expressed about its propensity to cause anaphylaxis. We identified 24 patients who met clinical and laboratory (intradermal, mast cell tryptase and morphine radioimmunoassay) criteria for anap...
متن کاملTrain-of-four fade during onset and recovery of neuromuscular block: a study in non-anaesthetized subjects.
The actions of alcuronium, vecuronium and tubocurarine have been studied in the isolated forearms of six healthy, non-anaesthetized volunteers. The responses of adductor pollicis were measured during onset and recovery of neuromuscular block for each agent. There was a drug-related disparity between mechanomyogram (MMG) and electromyogram (EMG) measurement of the first response of the train-of-...
متن کاملA comparison of atracurium and alcuronium during halothane anaesthesia by measurement of the train-of-four response of the adductor pollicis muscle and clinical observation.
Atracurium and alcuronium have been compared during halothane anaesthesia, by measurement of the mechanical response of the adductor pollicis muscles to train-of-four stimulation and by clinical observation. Atracurium appeared significantly shorter-acting than alcuronium. However, results suggested that the action of alcuronium may not be of "medium duration". A comparison of three indices of ...
متن کاملThe role of the non-depolarizing drugs in the prevention of suxamethonium bradycardia.
Evidence has been presented to show that a second dose of suxamethonium is capable of producing a severe bradycardia in man. This response may be effectively prevented by the prior administration of certain non-depolarizing muscle relaxants namely tubocurarine, alcuronium, c-toxiferine and pancuronium in quantities of one-quarter or less of their muscle relaxant level. It is suggested that suxa...

PURPOSE Postoperative pain and nausea/vomitting (PNV) are common in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. Sympatholytic agents might decrease requirements for intravenous or inhalation anesthetics and opioids. In this study we aimed to analyze effects of esmolol on intraoperative anesthetic-postoperative analgesic requirements, postoperative pain and PNV. METHODS Sixty patients have been inc...
