Effect of Ephedrine on Onset of Action of Rocuronium
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of ephedrine on onset time of rocuronium, by comparing onset time when using rocuronium alone and with priming with rocuronium. In this randomized clinical trial, 120 patients with the American Anesthesiologists Society (ASA) class I/II who required laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation for elective surgery were assigned to 4 groups. Priming dose of 0.04mg/kg rocuronium was given in group-P and groupPE. Inj. Ephedrine 0.2mg/kg I.V was given to group-E and group-PE. NPE group received no priming and no ephedrine. Patients were intubated after 30 seconds and intubating conditions graded according to the criteria of Cooper et al. Intubating conditions were clinically acceptable in all patients of the PE group compared to 2/28 of P, 2/29 of E, and 10/29 of the NPE groups (p<0.05) vs. PE. The combination of ephedrine and propofol significantly improved clinical intubating conditions 30 seconds after priming with rocuronium, compared to priming without ephedrine, ephedrine without priming, and propofolalone.

The hemodynamic effects of ephedrine on the onset time of rocuronium in pigs.
Several studies have found a correlation between the onset time of muscle relaxants, cardiac index, and muscle blood flow. Ephedrine increases these hemodynamic variables and shortens onset time of rocuronium in humans. Our aim in this animal study was to determine the effect of ephedrine on the onset time of rocuronium, cardiac index, and muscle blood flow after administration of thiopental. A...
متن کاملPharmacological Interventions for Acceleration of the Onset Time of Rocuronium: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Rocuronium is an acceptable alternative when succinylcholine is contraindicated for facilitating the endotracheal intubation. However, the onset time of rocuronium for good intubation condition is still slower than that condition of succinylcholine. This study systematically investigated the most efficacious pharmacological interventions for accelerating the onset time of rocuronium....
متن کاملThe effect of phenylephrine on the onset time of rocuronium
BACKGROUND Several studies have demonstrated that ephedrine shortens the onset time of muscle relaxants, and it does so probably by increasing the cardiac output. However, elevation of the systemic blood pressure through α adrenergic stimulation via ephedrine may affect the onset of muscle relaxants during the induction of anesthesia. We investigated the effect of phenylephrine, which is a sele...
متن کاملChanges in onset time of rocuronium in patients pretreated with ephedrine and esmolol--the role of cardiac output.
BACKGROUND We investigated the hypothesis that manipulation of cardiac output (CO) with esmolol (Es) or ephedrine (E) affects the onset time of rocuronium. METHODS Following anesthesia induction, 33 patients received E (70 micro g kg-1), Es (500 micro g kg-1) or placebo (P) 30 s before rocuronium (0.6 mg kg-1) administration. Cardiac output was measured non-invasively after intubation every 3...
