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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.
