A Retrospective Analysis of Long‐Term Use of Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Agents in the Intensive Care Unit, and Guidelines for Drug Selection

open access: closedPharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1993
Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NNMBAs) are frequently administered to patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). We conducted a retrospective study of patients in intensive care who received infusions (>48 hrs) of commonly used NNMBAs. The goals were to describe NNMBA use in our ICUs, determine patient characteristics, and assess the

Intraoperative Use of Nondepolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Agents During Cardiac Surgery and Postoperative Pulmonary Complications: A Prospective Randomized Trial

open access: closedJournal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2018
Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are associated with perioperative complications in noncardiac surgery; however, little is known about their effect on cardiac surgery. This study assessed the effect of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) on the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after cardiac surgery and operating ...

Long-acting nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents.

open access: closedAANA journal, 1993
Patients with compromised cardiovascular function who are undergoing cardiothoracic or other lengthy surgical procedures are at risk of complications from the hemodynamic effects of the long-acting nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBs), which have been in use for several decades.
