چکیده

We have defined the pharmacokinetics of atracurium besylate 0.25 mg kg-1 in 41 patients anaesthetized with 0.9% isoflurane end-tidal, 0.5% halothane end-tidal or midazolam 3-10 mg as a supplement to 66% nitrous oxide in oxygen. The pharmacokinetic profile was affected by age, sex and anaesthetic technique. Advancing age was associated with a reduced clearance and a longer elimination half-time; clearance was greater and elimination half-time was shorter in males than in females. Clearance was also greater in patients anaesthetized with isoflurane than with the two other techniques. Age, sex and anaesthetic technique did not significantly affect the volume of distribution.

Suxamethonium increases neuromuscular block produced by non-depolarizing agents administered subsequently. To determine if this effect has a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic origin, 18 ASA physical status I or II adults received atracurium 0.2 mg kg-1, with (n = 10) or without (n = 8) previous injection of suxamethonium 1 mg kg-1, during a thiopentone-nitrous oxide-isoflurane (0.5% end-tidal)...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was comparison of priming and intubating dose of Atracurium on the onset of muscle relaxation time to testing an alternative method for urgent operation. one hundred, 20-30 years old men that were condidate for urgency surgery entered in this study and divided in two groups randomly. First group was relaxed with Priming dose of Atracurium. In this way, %5 mg (pr...

Pharmacokinetics of 1R-cis 1'R-cis atracurium besylate (51W89) and plasma laudanosine concentrations in health and chronic renal failure.

To ascertain the effects of chronic renal failure on the pharmacokinetics of 1R-cis 1'R-cis atracurium besylate (a stereoisomer, designated 51W89), we gave a bolus dose of 0.1 mg kg-1 (2 x ED95) to 17 patients with end-stage renal failure and to 15 patients with normal renal function undergoing elective surgery. All patients received thiopentone, fentanyl and midazolam i.v. and 70% nitrous oxid...

Myasthenia gravis and atracurium. A case report.

The degree, duration of and recovery from neuromuscular blockade induced by atracurium in a patient with myasthenia gravis were monitored and recorded using the evoked compound muscle action potentials (EMG). The anaesthetic and perioperative management were simplified by the use of this technique. The significance of the behaviour of atracurium is discussed.
