چکیده

We studied the effect of olprinone on neuromuscular blockade caused by vecuronium. Thirty women undergoing nitrous oxide-oxygen-isoflurane anesthesia were randomly divided into olprinone (n=15) or control group (n=15). In the olprinone group, the patients received an intravenous initial loading dose of olprinone at a rate of 2 microg/kg/minute for 5 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of olprinone at 0.3 microg/kg/minute. In the control group, the patients received normal saline. Thirty minutes after the beginning of the infusion of olprinone or normal saline, vecuronium (0.1 mg/kg) was administered. The degree of neuromuscular blockade was monitored electromyographically at the adductor pollicis muscle. The time to the onset of neuromuscular blockade, and to the return of the first, second, third, or fourth response in train-of-four (TOF; T1, T2, T3, or T4, respectively), and the time course of recovery of T1/control did not differ significantly between the groups. After 50-70 minutes of vecuronium, the TOF ratio (T4/T1) in the olprinone group was significantly higher than in the control group. During this period, the mean TOF ratios in the control and olprinone groups were 0.15-0.39 and 0.40-0.57, respectively. In conclusion, olprinone accelerates the recovery of the TOF ratio, and the quickening effect of olprinone on the recovery of the TOF ratio may be apparent 50-70 minutes after vecuronium in anesthetized patients receiving vecuronium.

Interactions between calcium entry blockers and vecuronium bromide in anaesthetized cats.

Possible interactions between three calcium entry blocking agents (nifedipine, verapamil and bepridil) and the non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, vecuronium bromide, were investigated in chloralose-anaesthetized cats. In i.v. doses which caused decreases in arterial pressure, the calcium entry blockers did not affect indirectly-elicited twitches of tibialis muscle, but did potentiat...

Interaction of midazolam with two non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs in the rat in vivo sciatic nerve-tibialis anterior muscle preparation.

Studies of the possible interactions between the water-soluble benzodiazepine, midazolam, and two non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs, vecuronium and tubocurarine, were performed in the rat in vivo sciatic nerve-tibialis anterior muscle preparation. Midazolam 0.5 and 5 mg kg-1 caused 17% and 34% depression of the twitch height, respectively, once a steady-state blockade of the twitch ...

Changes in the power spectrum of the evoked compound action potential of the adductor pollicis with the onset of neuromuscular blockade.

The effects of neuromuscular blockade by atracurium and vecuronium on the power spectrum of the evoked compound action potential (ECAP) of the adductor pollicis were investigated in 30 adult patients undergoing elective surgery. The changes in amplitude and mean power frequency (MPF) of the ECAP were measured. Ten patients received an ED95 (0.23 mg kg-1) of atracurium and 10 received an ED95 (0...

Rate of onset of good intubating conditions, respiratory depression and hand muscle paralysis after vecuronium.

The development of neuromuscular blockade of the adductor pollicis muscle following vecuronium 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mg kg-1, was compared with the development of intubating conditions and respiratory paralysis. From this relationship, the optimal time after injection required for ideal tracheal intubation was calculated for the three doses of vecuronium. The effects of these doses of vecuronium on...

A comparative study of the orbicularis oculi muscle to the adductor pollicis muscle during vecuronium neuromuscular blockade.

This study compared the orbicularis oculi muscle to the adductor pollicis muscle during vecuronium blockade. The orbicularis oculi muscle was found to be more resistant to and recovered from vecuronium neuromuscular blockade faster than the adductor pollicis muscle. Thus, caution should be utilized when assessing neuromuscular block with the orbicularis oculi muscle.
