Effects of magnesium sulphate on the onset time of rocuronium at different doses: a randomized clinical trial

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2021
Background and aims: Rocuronium may provide excellent onset time, but high doses are required for effective action. Several strategies have managed to shorten rocuronium onset time, including the use of Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO4).

The latest trend in neuromuscular monitoring: return of the electromyography [PDF]

Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2021
To reduce the risk of residual neuromuscular blockade, neuromuscular monitoring must be performed. Acceleromyography (AMG)-based neuromuscular monitoring was regarded as “clinical gold standard” and widely applied.

The Implementation of Protocol-Based Utilization of Neuromuscular Blocking Agent Using Clinical Variables in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
Objectives:. The recent conflicting data on the mortality benefit of neuromuscular blocking agents in acute respiratory distress syndrome and the potential adverse effects of continuous neuromuscular blocking agent necessitates that these medications ...

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 ...

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

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.

Choice of neuromuscular block reversal agent to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications [PDF]

Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2022
The definition of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) is inconsistent in literature; however, PPCs include pulmonary abnormalities that adversely affect patient outcomes, such as respiratory failure, atelectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, and

A surgeon′s assessment of inadequate neuromuscular antagonism in a case of prolonged neuromuscular blockade

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013
Evaluation of the degree of neuromuscular blockade by the surgeon using clinical criteria alone is unreliable. We report a case of prolonged neuromuscular blockade lasting 5.5 h, where an additional intra-operative dose of neuromuscular relaxant was ...
