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 ...

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.

The binding of botulinum neurotoxins to different peripheral neurons [PDF]

, 2017
Botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known. The double receptor binding modality represents one of the most significant properties of botulinum neurotoxins and largely accounts for their incredible potency and lethality.

Reclassifying Anaphylaxis to Neuromuscular Blocking Agents Based on the Presumed Patho-Mechanism: IgE-Mediated, Pharmacological Adverse Reaction or “Innate Hypersensitivity”?

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Approximately 60% of perioperative anaphylactic reactions are thought to be immunoglobulin IgE mediated, whereas 40% are thought to be non-IgE mediated hypersensitivity reactions (both considered non-dose-related type B adverse drug reactions).

Association between neuromuscular blocking agent use and outcomes among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation and target temperature management: A secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II study

Resuscitation Plus, 2023
Background: Neuromuscular blocking agents are used to control shivering in cardiac arrest patients treated with target temperature management. However, their effect on outcomes in patients treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is ...

Intestinal neuromuscular function after preservation and transplantation [PDF]

, 1996
While it is well known that prolonged preservation of the intestinal graft causes severe mucosal damage after transplantation, little is known about the effect on neuromuscular function.

Statins Neuromuscular Adverse Effects

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Statins are drugs widely prescribed in high-risk patients for cerebrovascular or cardiovascular diseases and are, usually, safe and well tolerated. However, these drugs sometimes may cause neuromuscular side effects that represent about two-third of all ...

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 ...

Sedation and neuromuscular blocking agents in acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2017
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is the cornerstone of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management. The use of protective ventilation is a priority in this acute phase of lung inflammation.

Avoidance versus use of neuromuscular blocking agents for improving conditions during tracheal intubation or direct laryngoscopy in adults and adolescents.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017
BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation during induction of general anaesthesia is a vital procedure performed to secure a patient's airway. Several studies have identified difficult tracheal intubation (DTI) or failed tracheal intubation as one of the major ...
