Interaction of ketamine with atracurium.

چکیده
The effect of ketamine on the duration of atracurium-induced neuromuscular blockade was studied in 40 healthy patients anaesthetized with midazolam, fentanyl and nitrous oxide. Twenty received, in addition, i.v. ketamine 2 mg kg-1 followed by an infusion of 2 mg kg-1 h-1. Atracurium 0.5 mg kg-1 was injected i.v. and the time to 25% recovery of the twitch height was measured. It was 8.0 min longer in the ketamine group (P less than 0.005), with a 95% confidence interval of from 2.3 to 11.8 min.

Drugs can undergo one of several pathways on entry into the body; they can change spontaneously into other compounds e.g. atracurium breaks down into laudanosine, they can be excreted unchanged by the body e.g. excretion of benzylpenicillin by the kidneys or they can be metabolised by enzymes to different compounds to facilitate excretion e.g. ketamine. The majority of drugs follow the last rou...
