Failure of neostigmine to prevent tubocurarine neuromuscular block in the isolated arm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neostigmine failed to modify the development of neuromuscular block in the presence of a high local concentration of tubocurarine. Only when the concentration of tubocurarine was reduced, and a suitable concentration gradient established between the receptor area and the plasma, did neostigmine increase the rate of recovery from the action of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents.

Antagonism of neuromuscular block by physostigmine in man.
In 20 adult patients undergoing inguinal herniorrhaphy neuromuscular block was induced with tubocurarine 10 mg. In 10 patients, neostigmine 1--2 mg antagonized the block and restored the twitch response to its baseline value. Physostigmine, up to 4 mg, did not produce significant antagonism of the neuromuscular block.
متن کاملNeostigmine and edrophonium antagonism of moderate neuromuscular block induced by pancuronium or tubocurarine.
Edrophonium and neostigmine are anticholinesterase drugs used commonly to antagonize competitive neuromuscular block. Although it has a faster onset of action than neostigmine, edrophonium is unreliable when used to antagonize deep neuromuscular block. We have compared the antagonist characteristics of these two drugs when used to antagonize a moderate degree of pancuronium- or tubocurarine-ind...
متن کاملRenal failure and postoperative respiratory failure: recurarization?
The occurrence of acute postoperative respiratory failure in three patients with renal failure is presented. The most likely cause was the return of muscle paralysis after the apparent antagonism of tubocurarine by neostigmine (recurarization). In addition to reducing the dose of tubocurarine, the authors recommend that pyridostigmine be used as an antagonist instead of neostigmine because the ...
متن کاملOmitting antagonism of neuromuscular block: effect on postoperative nausea and vomiting and risk of residual paralysis. A systematic review.
We have estimated the effect of omitting antagonism of neuromuscular block on postoperative nausea and vomiting. A systematic search (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Biological Abstracts, Cochrane library, reference lists and hand searching; no language restriction, up to March 1998) was performed for relevant randomized controlled trials. In eight studies (1134 patients), antagonism with neostigmine or edrop...
متن کاملIs it always necessary to antagonize residual neuromuscular block? Do children differ from adults?
Is it always necessary to antagonize residual neuromuscular block? Do children differ from adults? Use of an anticholinesterase at the end of surgery, to antagonize residual neuromuscular block induced by a non-depolarizing drug, is commonplace; it is easy to forget that such drugs were not always given routinely. When the clinical use of " Intocostrin " (a biologically standardized extract of ...
