Pancuronium bromide induced joint contractures in the newborn.
نویسنده
چکیده
We report three infants paralysed with pancuronium bromide as an adjunct to mechanical ventilation, who developed multiple joint contractures. In two term infants, gentamicin and phenobarbitone given together with pancuronium may have potentiated its effect, and in one preterm infant contractures, which became more severe after paralysis, were present at birth.

Paralysis of ventilated newborn babies does not influence resistance of the total respiratory system.
Paralysis with pancuronium bromide is used in newborn infants to facilitate ventilatory support during respiratory failure. Changes in lung mechanics have been attributed to paralysis. The aim of this study was to examine whether or not paralysis per se has an influence on the passive respiratory mechanics, resistance (Rrs) and compliance (Crs) of the respiratory system in newborn infants. In 3...
متن کاملEffect of diazepam on pancuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade maintained by a feedback system.
The possibility of an interaction between diazepam and pancuronium bromide was investigated in six patients undergoing general anaesthesia maintained with fentanyl, droperidol and nitrous oxide. Neuromuscular blockade was controlled using a feedback mechanism which automatically adjusted the rate of injection of pancuronium to maintain between 71.4 and 72.9% blockade. Diazepam 0.14 mg kg-1 i.v....
متن کاملFatal hyperpyrexia following the use of pancuronium bromide in the pig.
Atropine (0.04 mg/kg) was given half an hour before the operation by intramuscular injection. Anaesthesia was induced using 10 per cent halothane in an oxygen and nitrous oxide mixture (4 l./min of each) via a Magill circuit, using a Hall dog mask. After intubation, pancuronium bromide (0.13 mg/kg) was given by intravenous injection and anaesthesia was maintained with a mechanical ventilator us...
متن کاملComparative potency of pipecuronium bromide and pancuronium bromide.
Cumulative dose-response curves were constructed to determine the comparative potency of pipecuronium and pancuronium. From these, the ED50 and ED95 values were calculated. These were 24.96 micrograms kg-1 and 44.96 micrograms kg-1, respectively, for pipecuronium and 30.42 micrograms kg-1 and 61.12 micrograms kg-1, respectively, for pancuronium.

The study was carried out to compare the intubating conditions, cardiovascular responses, neuro-muscular blocking properties and reversal characteristics of pipecuronium bromide and pancuronium bromide. This is a prospective hospital based study. 100 patients belonging to ASA grade I or II physical status aged 18 to 70 years were divided into two groups of 50 patients each. Group 1 received pip...
