Atracurium compared with suxamethonium for outpatient laparoscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
I.v. atracurium 0.3 mg kg-1 and suxamethonium 1.6 mg kg-1 plus infusion were compared for use in outpatient laparoscopy. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocking drugs. Both drugs proved suitable for use in outpatient laparoscopy, but atracurium may have advantages if the operation proceeds directly to laparotomy.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of atracurium with and without previous suxamethonium administration.
Suxamethonium increases neuromuscular block produced by non-depolarizing agents administered subsequently. To determine if this effect has a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic origin, 18 ASA physical status I or II adults received atracurium 0.2 mg kg-1, with (n = 10) or without (n = 8) previous injection of suxamethonium 1 mg kg-1, during a thiopentone-nitrous oxide-isoflurane (0.5% end-tidal)...
متن کاملPretreatment with non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents and suxamethonium-induced increases in resting jaw tension in children.
We have studied the effect of prior administration of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs on suxamethonium-induced increases in masseter muscle tension in 21 children aged 3-10 yr, anaesthetized with nitrous oxide and halothane using supramaximal stimulation of the ulnar nerve and the nerve to masseter. Resting tension and isometric force of contraction were measured in the adductor p...

train-of-four on a peripheral nerve stimulator and sustained head lifting. General anaesthesia for ECT has three main functions: lack of awareness of the therapy; modification of the motor effects of the fit to prevent injury; fast recovery of reflexes and consciousness enabling early airway protection. Suxamethonium is the best neuromuscular blocking drug for ECT, because of its short duration...
متن کاملPseudocholinesterase activity and atracurium v. suxamethonium block.
Serum pseudocholinesterase activity in pregnant women was assayed spectrophotometrically using either propionylthiocholine or suxamethonium as substrate. All patients had a normal phenotype as indicated by normal dibucaine and fluoride numbers. However, the mean cholinesterase activity was lower than in the general population. There was a negative correlation between cholinesterase activity and...
متن کاملNeuromuscular blocking and autonomic effects of vecuronium and atracurium in the anaesthetized cat.
The effects of vecuronium and atracurium on neuromuscular transmission, on the responses of the heart rate to vagal stimulation and on the responses to preganglionic stimulation of the nictitating membrane were compared in the chloralose-anaesthetized cat. Vecuronium was four times more potent than atracurium as a neuromuscular blocking agent, whereas the two compounds had similar potencies in ...
