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 ...

INFLUENCE OF “PRIMING” ON THE POTENCY OF NON-DEPOLARIZING NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS
Dose-response curves have been constructed to determine the ED50 and ED95 (doses required to produce a 50% and a 95% block, respectively) following administration of a small "priming" dose of atracurium 50 micrograms kg-1, vecuronium 10 micrograms kg-1 or pancuronium 10 micrograms kg-1.

Background: Sugammadex is known to reverse neuromuscular blockade induced by non-depolarizing agents. In children, the recommended dose for reversal of moderate neuromuscular blockade is 2 mg/kg.

Malignant hyperthermia – state of knowledge
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a relatively rare, but potentially lethal genetic disorder. That disease is characterized by hypermetabolic response of the skeletal muscles caused by exposure to triggering agents e.g. volatile anesthetics or depolarizing

Use of succinylcholine in neonates is surrounded by many controversies. The need to review this topic stems from the fact that though there is an abundance of information, but there are divergent views regarding its use in neonates.

THE NATURE OF ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR [PDF]
The present work with consideratlon to the autoradiographic pictures, suggests that cholinergic receptors are located at the gate of a channel originating from synaptic cleft coming to lie within the muscle fibre. AChE molecules stand at the gate of this

Studies on fazadinium bromide (AH 8165): A new non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent [PDF]
Intravenous dose-response relationships were used to correlate neuromuscular paralysis with the effects of fazadinium (AH 8165) on autonomic mechanisms in anaesthetized cats and rhesus monkeys and with cardiovascular effects in man. In cats and monkeys neuromuscular paralysis of the twitch responses of the gastrocnemius muscle by fazadinium was ...

Anaesthetic management in a patient with multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rare autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system clinically manifesting as periodic attacks of varied neurologic symptoms, eventually progressing to fixed neurologic deficits and disability.

EFFECTS OF NON-DEPOLARIZING NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS ON PERIPHERAL AUTONOMIC MECHANISMS IN CATS
Intravenous dose-response relationships were used to correlate neuromuscular paralysis with effects on autonomic mechanisms in anaesthetized cats. Whereas autonomic blockade with tubocurarine occurred at parasympathetic and sympathetic ganglia, neuromuscular paralysing doses of gallamine, alcuronium, pancuronium and fazadinium caused blockade at vagal ...
