And Rubella vaccines (Injection 1000 TCID 50), Injection Amiodarone (50mg/ml), Injection
Atracurium (Injection 10mg/ml), Thyroxin (Tablets 50mcg and 100mcg), and Nitrofurantoin (Tablets 100mg).
Vecuronium and
Atracurium are two muscle relaxants that come close to fulfil most of the above criteria.
Muscle relaxation was achieved by injection
atracurium 0.4 mg/kg i.v.
Among nondepolarizing agents, pancuronium, cisatracurium, and
atracurium have all been studied in the ARDS population.
All patients had a standard anesthesia technique as per our cardiac anesthesia unit protocol, were induced with tit rated dose of fentanyl (5-15ug/kg), midazolam (0.05-1 mg/kg), propofol (1-1.5mg/ kg),
atracurium (0.5 mg/Kg) and maintainedwith inhalation of Isoflurane (1-2%) and incremental doses of fentanyl and
Atracurium till initiation of CPB.
After the sufficient blood flow was obtained thiopental (IE Ulugay, Istanbul, Turkey) 1.5 mg/kg and
atracurium (GSK, Parma, Italy) 0.5 mg/kg were administered.
Anesthesia induction was achieved using fentanyl (3-5 ug kg-1), midazolam (0.02-0.05 mg kg-1), and propofol (1-2 mg/kg) and
atracurium bromide (0.5 mg kg-1).
Xylometazolinenasal drops (4 drops in each nostril) were used as vasoconstrictor to reduce nasal bleeding due to instrumentation.Induction of anesthesia was performed with propofol 2 mg/kg and
atracurium 0.5mg/ kg was used to facilitate tracheal intubation.Anesthesia was maintained with 3-4% sevoflurane and 50% N O in O .
Authors (Aps & O'Sullivan, 1987) describe a patient undergoing cardiac surgery under general anesthesia combined with incremental doses of
atracurium extubated on the morning after surgery, yet soon reintubated, with fully successful extubation performed after further 24 hours.
