چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Different drugs, including hypnotics, may influence the pharmacodynamic effects of neuromuscular blockers (NMB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of propofol and etomidate on cisatracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade. METHOD We included 60 patients, ASA I and II, undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia in the study and randomly allocated them into two groups, according to their hypnotic drug: GI (propofol) and GII (etomidate). Patients received intramuscular (IM) midazolam (0.1mg.kg(-1)) as premedication and we performed induction with propofol (2.5mg.kg(-1)) or etomidate (0.3mg.kg(1)), preceded by fentanyl (250mg) and followed by cisatracurium (0.1mg.kg(-1)). The patients were ventilated with 100% oxygen until obtaining a reduction of 95% or more in the adductor pollicis response amplitude, with subsequent laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Neuromuscular function was monitored by acceleromyograhpy. We evaluated the onset of action of cisatracurium, tracheal intubation conditions, and hemodynamic repercussions. RESULTS The mean time and standard deviations of cisatracurium onset were: GI (86.6±14.3s) and GII (116.9±11.6s), with a significant difference (p<0, 0001). Intubation conditions were acceptable in 100% of GI and 53.3% of GII patients (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION Induction of neuromuscular blockade with cisatracurium was faster, with better intubation conditions in patients receiving propofol compared to those receiving etomidate, without hemodynamic repercussions.

Reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block with sugammadex is faster than reversal of cisatracurium-induced block with neostigmine.
BACKGROUND Reversal of the residual effect of rocuronium or cisatracurium by neostigmine may be slow and associated with side-effects. This randomized, safety-assessor-blinded study compared the efficacy of sugammadex, a selective relaxant binding agent for reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block, with that of neostigmine for reversal of cisatracurium-induced neuromuscular block. The...
متن کاملHow to reduce cisatracurium consumption in ARDS patients: the TOF-ARDS study
BACKGROUND Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) have been shown to improve the outcome of the most severely hypoxemic, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. However, the recommended dosage as well as the necessity of monitoring the neuromuscular block is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a nurse-directed protocol of NMBA administration based on a train-of-four (TOF...

The neuromuscular blocking agent cisatracurium is frequently used adjunctively in anesthesia to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide muscle relaxation during surgery. We aimed to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) of cisatracurium in patients with congenital heart defects (CHDs), such as ventricular septal defects and atrial septal defects, and to assess the ...
