Comparison of speed of onset of fazadinium, pancuronium, tubocurarine and suxamethonium.

چکیده
Under light general anaesthesia the speed of onset of action of fazadinium, pancuronium, tubocurarine and suxamethonium has been assessed by measuring the decrease in the twitch height of the adductor pollicis muscle following administration of the drugs. Suxamethonium produced 95% depression of the twitch height significantly faster than any of the other drugs, while the onset of fazadinium was significantly more rapid than that of the other non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs.

Effect of Diazepam at the neuromuscular junction. A clinical study.
In patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia diazepam 0.16 mg kg-1 had no effect on mechanical twitch height of the adductor pollicis muscle of the thumb when the ulnar nerve was stimulated at the wrist. The muscle responses were evoked by single, repeated supramaximal stimuli at 0.2 Hz and "train-of-four" stimulation at 2 Hz for 2 s. Diazepam 0.16 mg kg-1 had no effect on the depth...
متن کاملArtery-to-muscle onset time for neuromuscular blocking drugs.
Artery-to-muscle (A-M) onset time for five neuromuscular blocking agents was studied in 50 female patients under light endotracheal anaesthesia. Circulation to the right arm was occluded by a tourniquet and released 1 min after the injection i.v. into the left arm of a myoneural blocking drug. Muscle twitches were recorded in the right hand after stimulation of the ulnar nerve (1 Hz). After rel...
متن کاملThe role of the non-depolarizing drugs in the prevention of suxamethonium bradycardia.
Evidence has been presented to show that a second dose of suxamethonium is capable of producing a severe bradycardia in man. This response may be effectively prevented by the prior administration of certain non-depolarizing muscle relaxants namely tubocurarine, alcuronium, c-toxiferine and pancuronium in quantities of one-quarter or less of their muscle relaxant level. It is suggested that suxa...
متن کاملFade characteristics and onset times following administration of pancuronium, tubocurarine and a mixture of both agents.
The onset characteristics of pancuronium, tubocurarine and a mixture of these two neuromuscular blocking drugs were studied during the induction of neuromuscular blockade, using a train-of-four pattern of stimulation. Four characteristics of onset were defined: train-of-four fade = a reduction in the height of the fourth twitch greater than a reduction in the height of the first twitch; latent ...
متن کاملStudies on fazadinium bromide (ah 8165): a new non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent.
Intravenous dose-response relationships were used to correlate neuromuscular paralysis with the effects of fazadinium (AH 8165) on autonomic mechanisms in anaesthetized cats and rhesus monkeys and with cardiovascular effects in man. In cats and monkeys neuromuscular paralysis of the twitch responses of the gastrocnemius muscle by fazadinium was accompanied by impairment of the vagally induced b...
