Comparison of duration of neuromuscular blocking effect of atracurium and vecuronium in young and elderly patients.
In a controlled, randomized study, we evaluated duration of neuromuscular block in 80 patients undergoing routine abdominal surgery. Forty patients were aged 18-50 yr (control group) and 40 patients were more than 65 yr (elderly group). All patients had normal plasma creatinine concentrations. After induction of anaesthesia, patients were allocated randomly to receive either atracurium 0.5 mg k...

متن کاملAtracurium in infants and children.
For atracurium, as for other neuromuscular blocking agents, the determination of potency in children has been assessed using the evoked response of the adductor muscle of the thumb. This response has been evaluated either by an electromyogram (EMG) or by a recording of the force of contraction through a force displacement transducer. The method of stimulation was either the train-of-four (2 Hz,...
متن کاملThe screening of atracurium in MHS swine.
The potential role of atracurium besylate as a trigger or attenuator of the malignant hyperthermia syndrome was tested in six MHS Landrace swine. Animals were tested for susceptibility and then exposed to atracurium given as an i.v. bolus both alone and concomitantly with 2% halothane. In no instance could the syndrome be triggered by atracurium nor did it convincingly attenuate the syndrome wh...
متن کاملAtracurium and intraocular pressure.
The effect of atracurium on intraocular pressure was studied by comparing it with pancuronium in a randomised controlled trial. The intraocular pressure was measured in patients undergoing cataract surgery before administration of the muscle relaxant, at 1, 3, and 5 minutes after its administration, and at 1 minute after tracheal intubation. Atracurium was found to decrease intraocular pressure...
