Feasibility of intraoperative quantitative neuromuscular blockade monitoring in children using electromyography

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2022
Background: Quantitative train-of-four (TOF) monitoring remains essential in optimizing anesthetic outcomes by assessing the depth and recovery from neuromuscular blockade. Despite this, residual neuromuscular blockade, defined as a TOF ratio

Comparison of the neuromuscular effects of two infusion rates of rocuronium in anesthetized pigs

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2022
Background: Neuromuscular blocking agents are frequently administered to pigs used for research. In humans, administration of the drugs is not without risk and may result in accidental awareness under general anaesthesia and postoperative residual ...

Association between levobupivacaine and pancuronium. Interference in neuromuscular transmission and blockade in rats [PDF]

Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2016
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of levobupivacaine on neuromuscular transmission and neuromuscular blockade produced by pancuronium in vitro. METHODS: Thirty rats were distributed into groups (n = 5) according to the drug used alone or in combination:

Clinical Pharmacology of the Neuromuscular Blocking Agents

, 1991
Neuromuscular blocking agents are among the most commonly used drugs during general anesthesia. They compete with acetylcholine and interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses resulting in skeletal muscle relaxation.

Newer Neuromuscular Blocking Agents [PDF]

Pharmacology & Toxicology, 1994
Four neuromuscular blocking drugs, doxacurium, mivacurium, pipecuronium, and rocuronium have been or are about to be introduced into clinical practice. The purpose of this MiniReview is to describe their pharmacology, to consider their place in clinical anaesthetic practice, and to examine whether the needs of the clinican have been met.

Carboxymethyl-γ-cyclodextrin, a novel selective relaxant binding agent for the reversal of neuromuscular block induced by aminosteroid neuromuscular blockers: an ex vivo laboratory study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2021
Background Residual neuromuscular block at the end of surgery may compromise the patient’s safety. The risk of airway complications can be minimized through monitoring of neuromuscular function and reversal of neuromuscular block if needed.
