Plasma proteins, packed-cell volume and requirements for alcuronium.

چکیده

The relationship between alcuronium requirements and the plasma concentration of albumin and total globulin was investigated in 50 adult patients undergoing elective upper abdominal surgery. No significant correlation was obtained with the plasma proteins (g/100 ml plasma). A significant positive correlation between alcuronium requirements and plasma albumin X (1-PCV), especially in anaemic patients, was found. This relationship tended to decrease with time.

Steady state hemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume in homozygous sickle cell disease patients in Lagos, Nigeria

Background: Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atte...

Pharmacokinetics of alcuronium in elderly patients undergoing total hip replacement or aortic reconstructive surgery.

The pharmacokinetic behaviour of alcuronium was studied in three patients undergoing resection of an aortic aneurysm, and in another two patients undergoing total hip replacement (group I). A control group of five elderly patients undergoing relatively minor surgery was included (group II). In group I patients, the values of the pharmacokinetic parameters such as plasma clearance, elimination h...

Blood and plasma viscosity measurements in patients with glaucoma.

Blood viscosity at 10 shear rates, plasma viscosity, packed cell volume, plasma fibrinogen, serum alpha 2-macroglobulin, and serum proteins were measured in 83 patients with low-tension glaucoma (LTG) and 23 patients with 'high-tension glaucoma' (HTG: at least one IOP reading above 40 mmHg) and compared with those in 50 controls. Blood and plasma viscosity values and packed cell volume were sig...

Use of tranexamic acid in craniosynostosis surgery.

BACKGROUND Intraoperative tranexamic acid (TXA) administration has been used to abate blood loss in a variety of surgical procedures. Several recent studies have supported its efficacy in reducing transfusion requirements in pediatric cranial vault reconstruction (CVR). OBJECTIVE To conduct a retrospective chart review to determine whether a significant reduction in packed red blood cell (PRB...

Allosteric modulation of muscarinic receptor signaling: alcuronium-induced conversion of pilocarpine from an agonist into an antagonist.

Previous studies on allosteric interactions at muscarinic receptors have often focused on ligand-receptor binding interactions, because ligand binding seemed to reflect functional consequences. The prototypal allosteric agent alcuronium is known to bind with similar affinity to the M(2) subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors whether or not the receptors are occupied by the agonist piloca...
