Methods: Twenty-two otherwise healthy individuals scheduled for neurosurgical operations were studied: 11 of them were on chronic treatment with carbamazepine; the others served as control subjects. The median duration of carbamazepine therapy was 9 weeks (range, 4-312 weeks). After premedication with oral diazepam, anesthesia was induced with fentanyl and thiopental and maintained with nitrous oxide/oxygen and 0.5% inspired isoflurane. Rocuronium, 0.6 mg/kg (2 x ED95), was given for intubation. The ulnar nerve was stimulated, and the evoked electromyogram recorded using a Datex NMT monitor.
Results: Based on the response to the first of four stimuli, neither the lag time nor the onset-time differed between the two groups. However, the intervals of recovery to 10%, 25%, 50%, and 75% of the baseline response and the recovery index (RI, 25%-75%) were significantly shorter in patients on chronic carbamazepine therapy. 相似文献
Methods: Twenty-seven male surgical patients aged 18-64 yr were randomly assigned to receive placebo or sugammadex (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0 mg/kg) for reversal of 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block. Anesthesia was induced and maintained using intravenous fentanyl and propofol. Neuromuscular function was assessed using acceleromyography. Sugammadex or placebo was administered at reappearance of T2 of the train-of-four. The primary efficacy variable was the time required for recovery to a train-of-four ratio of 0.9.
Results: Sugammadex decreased median recovery time in a dose-dependent manner from 21.0 min in the placebo group to 1.1 min in the group receiving 4.0 mg/kg sugammadex. Doses of sugammadex of 2.0 mg/kg or greater reversed rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block within 3 min. A median of 59-77% of sugammadex was excreted unchanged in the urine within 16 h, mostly in the first 8 h. Sugammadex increased the proportion of the rocuronium dose excreted unchanged in the urine (from a median of 19% in the placebo group to 53% in the 4.0-mg/kg group within 16 h). Sugammadex was safe and well tolerated. No evidence of recurarization was observed in any patient. 相似文献
Methods: Forty-five American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II patients (aged 18-64 yr) scheduled to undergo surgical procedures (anticipated anesthesia duration >= 90 min) were randomly assigned to a phase II, multicenter, assessor-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel, dose-finding study. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and an opioid. Profound neuromuscular blockade was induced with 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium bromide. Sugammadex (2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 12.0, or 16.0 mg/kg) or placebo (0.9% saline) was then administered 5 min after the administration of rocuronium. Neuromuscular function was monitored by acceleromyography, using train-of-four nerve stimulation. Recovery time was the time from the start of administration of sugammadex or placebo, to recovery of the train-of-four ratio to 0.9. Safety assessments were performed on the day of the operation and during the postoperative and follow-up period.
Results: A total of 43 patients received either sugammadex or placebo. Increasing doses of sugammadex reduced the mean recovery time from 122 min (spontaneous recovery) to less than 2 min in a dose-dependent manner. Signs of recurrence of blockade were not observed. No serious adverse events related to sugammadex were reported. Two adverse events possibly related to sugammadex were reported in two patients (diarrhea and light anesthesia); however, both patients recovered without sequelae. 相似文献
Methods: Twenty-four patients (12 with DMD, 12 controls, aged 10-16 yr) were studied. All patients were anesthetized with propofol and fentanyl/remifentanil. Neuromuscular transmission was monitored by acceleromyography. After induction all patients received a single dose of 0.6 mg/kg of rocuronium. The complete time course of onset and spontaneous recovery were recorded
Results: Significant (P < 0.01) increase in the onset times to 95% neuromuscular block was observed in DMD patients (median, 203 s; range, 90-420 s) compared with controls (median, 90 s; range, 60-195 s). The time between rocuronium administration and recovery of first twitch of the train-of-four to 90% was significantly (P < 0.01) prolonged in DMD compared with controls (median, 132 min; range, 61-209 min versus 39 min; 22-55 min). The recovery index was also significantly prolonged in the DMD group compared with controls (median, 28 min, range, 15-70 min versus 8 min; 3-14 min). 相似文献
Methods: Ninety-eight male adult patients were randomly assigned to receive sugammadex (1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 mg/kg) or placebo at 3, 5, or 15 min after 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium. Patients were anesthetized with propofol and fentanyl. The primary endpoint of the study was the time to achieve a recovery of train-of-four ratio to 0.9. Neuromuscular blockade was measured using acceleromyography. Concentrations of rocuronium and sugammadex were determined in venous blood and urine samples. A population pharmacokinetic model using NONMEM (GloboMax LLC, Hanover, MD) was applied.
Results: The mean time to recovery of the train-of-four ratio to 0.9 after dosing at 3, 5, and 15 min decreased from 52.1, 51.7, and 35.6 min, respectively, after administration of placebo to 1.8, 1.5, and 1.4 min, respectively, after 8 mg/kg sugammadex. Sugammadex was safe and well tolerated. However, 20.4% of patients showed signs of inadequate anesthesia after its administration. The median cumulative excretion of rocuronium in the urine over 24 h was 26% in the placebo group and increased to 58-74% after 4-8 mg/kg sugammadex. The mean plasma clearances of sugammadex and rocuronium were 0.084 and 0.26 l/min, respectively. 相似文献
Methods: During nitrous oxide-isoflurane anesthesia, patients with normal renal and hepatic function (n = 25), those with renal failure (n = 28), and those with cirrhosis (n = 6) received a bolus dose of rapacuronium (1.5 mg/kg) followed by a 30-min infusion adjusted to maintain 90-95% twitch depression. At 25% recovery, neostigmine was administered. Blood was sampled until 8 h after the infusion to determine concentrations of rapacuronium and its active metabolite ORG9488. Rapacuronium's pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using mixed-effects modeling.
Results: Onset and facilitated recovery of twitch depression were similar in the three groups. Patients with renal failure required 22% less rapacuronium to maintain target twitch depression during the infusion. Rapacuronium's plasma clearance was 24% smaller in renal failure and decreased 0.5%/yr of age; rapid distribution clearance was 51% smaller in men than in women. After the infusion, ORG9488 concentrations decreased markedly more slowly in patients with renal failure. Cirrhosis did not alter the pharmacokinetics of rapacuronium. 相似文献
Methods: Anesthesia was induced in 64 adults with 2-5 [mu]g/kg fentanyl and 1-3 mg/kg propofol and maintained with fentanyl, propofol, and nitrous oxide. The tactile response of the adductor pollicis to TOF stimulation was evaluated at one arm, and the mechanomyographic response was recorded at the other. Patients received 0.15 mg/kg cisatracurium and were randomized to receive 0.07 mg/kg neostigmine on reappearance of the first (group I), second (group II), third (group III), or fourth (group IV) tactile TOF response (16 patients per group). Times from administration of neostigmine until the TOF ratio recovered to 0.7 (R0.7), 0.8 (R0.8), and 0.9 (R0.9) were measured.
Results: Data are presented as median with range in parentheses. R0.7 was 10.3 (5.9-23.4), 7.6 (3.2-14.1), 5.0 (2.0-18.4), and 4.1 (2.4-11.0) min in groups I, II, III, and IV, respectively (P < 0.05, group I > II, III, and IV, group II > IV). R0.8 was 16.6 (8.9-30.7), 9.8 (5.3-25.0), 8.3 (3.8-27.1), and 7.5 (3.0-74.5) min in groups I, II, III, and IV, respectively (P < 0.05, group I > II, III, and IV, group II > IV). R0.9 was 22.2 (13.9-44.0), 20.2 (6.5-70.5), 17.1 (8.3-46.2), and 16.5 (6.5-143.3) min in groups I, II, III, and IV, respectively (no intergroup differences). Ten minutes after neostigmine, a TOF ratio of 0.7 or greater was achieved in 50, 75, 88, and 93% of patients in groups I, II, III, and IV, respectively (P < 0.05 group I > II, III, and IV). At 30 min, a TOF ratio of 0.9 or less was observed in 21, 13, 13, and 7% of patients in groups I, II, III, and IV respectively (no intergroup differences). 相似文献
Methods: Nine patients with a neuromuscular block of 14 min to 5 h were selected. All four exons of the butyrylcholinesterase were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and analyzed by automated sequencing. Molecular genetic results were compared with clinical relaxation time and with biochemical test results (total butyrylcholinesterase activity, dibucaine and fluoride inhibition).
Results: Seven of nine patients were mutation carriers. Five of these had more than one mutation. The A and K variants were the most frequent variations. Three of four patients who were homozygous for the A variant were also carriers of the K allele. The authors identified one novel mutation (G1294T) introducing a stop codon at amino acid position 432. The duration of neuromuscular block was substantially different between patients with identical butyrylcholinesterase genotypes. 相似文献
The measured parameters included the twitch force or EMG amplitude of the adductor pollicis brevis muscle after supramaximal 0.1 Hz stimulation and fading of these responses after repetitive 2 and 50 Hz stimuli. Although the restitution rate of twitch height and EMG amplitude were essentially the same with both antagonists, there was a considerable time-lag in regeneration of the fades after repetitive stimuli with physostigmine as compared with the neostigmine group. The addition of physostigmine to a subeffective dose of neostigmine resulted in antagonism comparable to that seen in other groups. The clinical antagonism was satisfactory in all patients receiving physostigmine. The divergence of relaxation-indicating parameters (twitch responses and fades) after physostigmine suggests dissimilar modes of action of the two antagonists at the neuromuscular junction. 相似文献
Methods: In 30 adult patients, atracurium was administered to maintain a constant neuromuscular block. The level of block varied between patients. Evoked adductor pollicis twitch tension was monitored. Incremental doses of edrophonium were administered while the infusion of atracurium continued. Increments were given until adequate recovery occurred, as defined by a train-of-four (TOF) ratio greater or equal to 70%, or until no further antagonism of the block could be achieved. The probability of being able to effect adequate recovery by antagonism with edrophonium was determined using a logistic regression model. Cumulative dose-response curves were constructed using the logit transformation of the neuromuscular effect versus the logarithm of the cumulative dose of edrophonium.
Results: In 14 patients with a block of 25-77% depression of the first twitch response, antagonism by edrophonium to a TOF ratio greater or equal to 70% was possible, whereas in 16 patients with a 60-92% depression of T1, a TOF ratio > 70% was not achievable, indicating that a ceiling effect for antagonism by edrophonium occurred. A block of 67 plus/minus 3% (mean plus/minus SE) had a 50% probability of adequate antagonism. In patients in whom block was antagonized to a TOF ratio < 70%, 95% of the peak antagonistic effect occurred with an edrophonium dose of 0.8 plus/minus 0.33 mg *symbol* kg sup -1 (mean plus/minus SD). 相似文献
Methods: In 22 adults, anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and alfentanil. The force of contraction of the adductor pollicis was recorded, and the laryngeal response was evaluated by measuring the pressure change in the cuff of a tracheal tube positioned between the vocal cords after train-of-four stimulation. Mivacurium (0.07 mg *symbol* kg sup -1 or 0.14 mg *symbol* kg sup -1) was given intravenously (10 s).
Results: With 0.07 mg *symbol* kg sup -1 mivacurium, onset time was 151+/-40 s (mean+/-SD) at the larynx and 241+/- 79 s at the adductor pollicis, respectively (P < 0.005). Maximum block was 78+/-18% and 95+/-8%, respectively (P < 0.002), and time to 90% recovery was 11.1+/-2.9 min and 23.3+/-7.6 min, respectively (P < 0.001). With 0.14 mg *symbol* kg sup -1 mivacurium, onset time also was more rapid at the vocal cords (137+/-20 s) than at the adductor pollicis (201+/-59 s, P < 0.01). Maximum block was 90+/-7% and 99+/-1% (P < 0.005), and time to 90% recovery was 16.4+/-4.9 min and 27.4+/-7.8 min, respectively (P < 0.01). 相似文献
Methods: In 30 adults, anesthesia was induced with propofol (2-5 mg/kg) and fentanyl (2-3 micro gram/kg). After train-of-four stimulation, the block of the laryngeal adductor muscles was evaluated by measuring the pressure changes in the cuff of the tracheal tube placed between the vocal cords, and the force of the contraction of the adductor pollicis was measured with a force transducer. Patients were randomly allocated to receive ORG 9487 at intravenous bolus doses of 0.75, 1.5 or 2 mg/kg (n = 10 in each group).
Results: Time to peak effect was significantly shorter at the vocal cords than at the adductor pollicis muscle (P < 0.001). Onset time at the vocal cords was 62 +/- 16 s, 62 +/- 13 s, and 52 +/- 14 s (mean +/- SD) after doses of 0.75, 1.5, and 2 mg/kg, respectively (not significant). Onset time at the adductor pollicis muscle was 126 +/- 33 s, 96 +/- 20 s, and 82 +/- 21 s after 0.75, 1.5, and 2 mg/kg doses, respectively (P <0.001). Maximum block was significantly less intense at the vocal cords than at the adductor pollicis muscle (69 +/- 15% vs. 94 +/- 4% after 0.75 mg/kg; 86 +/- 7% vs. 97 +/- 4% after 1.5 mg/kg; and 91 +/- 5% vs. 99 +/- 1% after 2 mg/kg). After 1.5 mg/kg duration to 25%, recovery was 3.7 +/- 2.2 min versus 10.2 +/- 2.5 min at the vocal cords and the adductor pollicis muscle, respectively, and 75% recovery occurred at 9.7 +/- 3.7 min at the vocal cords and at 18.3 +/- 5.2 min at the adductor pollicis muscle. 相似文献
Methods: Twenty pigs received either suxamethonium or mivacurium. Dose finding (70% block) was done for each pig. The enzymic degradation of the muscle relaxant was randomly inhibited by selective inhibition of plasma cholinesterase activity by tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide (10 pigs) or was not inhibited (10 pigs). Plasma cholinesterase activities and the mechanomyographic muscle response after peroneal nerve stimulation (0.1 Hz) were measured.
Results: Inhibition of plasma cholinesterase activity (by 93% and 89%, respectively) increased the onset time of suxamethonium from a median of 40 s (range, 20-45 s) to 131 s (range, 114-166 s; P = 0.009) and of mivacurium from a median of 52 s (range, 40-59 s) to 105 s (range, 90-125 s; P = 0.009). Inhibition of degradation decreased the effective dose of suxamethonium that resulted in 70% depression of the initial twitch height from 900 [micro sign]g/kg (range, 400-1,000 [micro sign]g/kg) to 150 [micro sign]g/kg (range, 135 - 150 [micro sign]g/kg) and of mivacurium from 100 [micro sign]g/kg (range, 80-150 [micro sign]g/kg) to 35 [micro sign]g/kg (range, 20-50 [micro sign]g/kg). 相似文献
