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:

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.

Preparing for the unexpected: special considerations and complications after sugammadex administration

BMC Anesthesiology, 2017
Sugammadex, a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, has changed clinical practice of neuromuscular reversal dramatically. With the introduction of this selective relaxant binding agent, rapid and reliable neuromuscular reversal from any depth of block became ...

Intravenous immunoglobulin is safe and effective in controlling pre-existing paraneoplastic neuromuscular diseases in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors: two case reports and literature review

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
Immune checkpoint inhibitors cause rare but potentially fatal neuromuscular complications, leading to a concern to use these agents in cancer patients with pre-existing autoimmune or inflammatory neuromuscular diseases.

A practical approach to the patient presenting with dropped head [PDF]

, 2016
Head drop, or having a dropped head, is an uncommon condition in which patients present with a disabling inability to lift their head. It may arise in many neurological conditions that can be divided into those with neuromuscular weakness of neck ...

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]

, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.
