Laparoscopic fundoplication under general anesthesia in a child with spinal muscular atrophy type II: a case report [PDF]
BMC PediatricsBackground Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) linked to chromosome 5q demonstrates an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. SMA is characterized by diffuse, symmetric, proximal muscle weakness, with lower limb predominance in the lower limbs than in the ...

Archives of Anesthesia and Critical Care, 2022 Background: The utility of Neuromuscular monitoring (NMT) has not been studied in Indian scenario till date. We did a survey to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, practices of NMT among Indian anesthesiologists. Methods: A questionnaire-based google form

Association between levobupivacaine and pancuronium. Interference in neuromuscular transmission and blockade in rats [PDF]
Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2016 PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of levobupivacaine on neuromuscular transmission and neuromuscular blockade produced by pancuronium in vitro. METHODS: Thirty rats were distributed into groups (n = 5) according to the drug used alone or in combination:

Neuromuscular blockers and their reversal: have we finally found the on-off switches?
Ain Shams Journal of Anesthesiology, 2021 Background A nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) with a succinylcholine-like quick onset and offset has been the holy grail of the science of neuromuscular blockade.

Chronic exposure to dexamethasone may not affect sugammadex reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade: an in vivo study on rats [PDF]
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2023 Background Chronic glucocorticoid exposure is associated with resistance to nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents. Therefore, we hypothesized that sugammadex-induced recovery would occur more rapidly in subjects exposed to chronic dexamethasone ...

Effects of adenosine receptor agonist on the rocuroniuminduced neuromuscular block and sugammadex-induced recovery [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2018 Background Several types of receptors are found at neuromuscular presynaptic membranes. Presynaptic inhibitory A1 and facilitatory A2A receptors mediate different modulatory functions on acetylcholine release. This study investigated whether adenosine A1

Pharmacodynamic interactions between muscle relaxants and other medications in practice of anesthesia [PDF]
Farmacja Polska, 2023 Knowledge of drug interactions is an essential element of medical practice. Along with the increasing occurrence of multimorbidity and the associated multi-drug use, the number of possible combinations of preparations is constantly rising.

Factors that affect the onset of action of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2017 Neuromuscular blockade plays an important role in the safe management of patient airways, surgical field improvement, and respiratory care. Rapid-sequence induction of anesthesia is indispensable to emergency surgery and obstetric anesthesia, and its ...

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 ...
