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

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 ...

Compared efficacy and tolerance of the neuromuscular blockade induced by brand-name (Nimbex®) and generic (Cisatrex®) of cisatracurium in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients: a crossover double-blind randomized study

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2020
INTRODUCTION: Use of generic drugs is common. However, there is still concern among patients and physicians that brand name drugs are more efficient. The aim of the study was to compare efficacy and tolerance between two forms of cisatracurium: brand ...
