Abstract Heart transplantation is a frequent procedure in the treatment of end-stage cardiac dysfunction. Therefore, these patient populations will also be more frequent exposed to other more common surgical procedures after their transplantation. Anesthesiologist should be aware in their assessment of t...
Myotonic dystrophy is an uncommon disease, characterised by disorders of the muscle membrane. Its clinical manifestations are muscle weakness, difficulty at initiating movements and delayed muscle relaxation. Carriers of this disease are very sensitive to anaesthetic drugs. Residual neuromuscular blockad...
Abstract Objective Evaluate the incidence of postoperative residual curarization (PORC) in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after the use of protocol and absence of intraoperative acceleromyography (AMG). Methods Randomized clinical trial with 122 patients allocated into two groups (protocol and co...
Abstract Background: Rocuronium causes pain and withdrawal movement during induction of anesthesia. In this study, palonosetron was investigated to have analgesic effect on the reduction of rocuronium-induced withdrawal movement. Methods: 120 patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups to re...
ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the ED90 (minimum effective dose in 90% of patients) of sugammadex for the reversal of rocuronium-induced moderate neuromuscular blockade (NMB) in patients with grade III obesity undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: we conducted a prospective study with the biased c...
Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intracerebroventricularly administered rocuronium bromide on the central nervous system, determine the seizure threshold dose of rocuronium bromide in rats, and investigate the effects of rocuronium on the central nervous syste...
Abstract A case is reported in which a 3-days old neonate with a giant ovarian cyst was scheduled for surgery. The patient received a dose of sugammadex to reverse a rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block. A fast and efficient recovery from neuromuscular block was achieved within 90 s. No adverse events ...
Introducción: en la actualidad el uso de la terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC) ha aumentado como alternativa terapéutica en varias patologías. El uso de TEC modifcado ayuda a disminuir los efectos fsiológicos y los efectos adversos del tratamiento; el objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la segur...
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A lidocaína potencializa o efeito dos bloqueadores neuromusculares e atenua a resposta hemodinâmica à intubação. O objetivo do presente estudo foi testar o efeito da lidocaína sobre a latência de duas doses diferentes do rocurônio e sobre a resposta hemodinâmica à int...
