Neuromuscular blocking agents: enhancing safety by reducing the risk of accidental administration
Neuromuscular blocking agents should only be prescribed after other means of decreasing oxygen consumption, managing ventilation, treating muscle spasms, and moderating intracranial pressure have proven ineffective.
Sedatives, analgesics, neuromuscular blocks. (The Effective Physician)
Rocuronium (RO) and vecuronium (VE) are widely used aminosteroidal non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents. There are few methods published for the determination of VE, its metabolite 3-desacetyl-vecuronium (OHV) (1-4), and RO (5,6) that use HPLC with ultraviolet, fluorescence, or electrochemical detection or gas chromatography with nitrogen-sensitive detection.

The combination of propofol and a short-acting opioid during induction of anaesthesia has been found to permit tracheal intubation without the use of neuromuscular blocking agents in paediatric patients (13-15).

Using the modified up-and-down method, this study shows that the SLIPA requires a lower E[C.sub.50] of remifentanil for successful insertion than the LMA during induction with propofol TCI of 3.5 [micro]g x [ml.sup.-1] without a neuromuscular blocking agent in adults.

Neuromuscular blocking agent (NMB) was given after confirming position of endotracheal tube.
Smaller size laryngeal mask airway and gum elastic bougie combination is a failsafe technique for tracheal intubation in a child with temporomandibular joint ankylosis
The decision in this case to use an intermediateacting neuromuscular blocking agent for a short case on a potentially threatened airway was facilitated by the availability of a highly effective, speedy and safe reversal agent.
