Functional respiratory imaging after neostigmine- or sugammadex-enhanced recovery from neuromuscular blockade in the anesthetised rat: a randomised controlled pilot study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (5), 2017
Abstract Objectives Reductions in diaphragm activity are associated with the postoperative development of atelectasis. Neostigmine reversal is also associated with increased atelectasis. We assessed the effects of neostigmine, sugammadex, and spontaneous reversal on regional lung ventilation and airway ...

Deep versus moderate neuromuscular block during one-lung ventilation in lung resection surgery

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (3), 2017
Abstract Background and objectives: Neuromuscular relaxants are essential during general anesthesia for several procedures. Classical anesthesiology literature indicates that the use of neuromuscular blockade in thoracic surgery may be deleterious in patients in lateral decubitus position in one-lung ve...

Sugammadex ED90 dose to reverse the rocuronium neuromuscular blockade in obese patients

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 44 (1), 2017
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...

Cambio de paradigma en el paciente diabético a partir del bloqueo del tobillo
Change of paradigm in diabetic patients starting from the ankle block

Introducción: la complicación más temida de la diabetes mellitus es el pie diabético y como consecuencia nefasta de este, la amputación de todo un miembro con la carga psicológica y social que lleva aparejada. El bloqueo a nivel del tobillo a pesar de ser una técnica sencilla no es de práctica ha...

Rocuronium and sugammadex in a 3 days old neonate for draining an ovarian cyst. Neuromuscular management and review of the literature

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (4), 2016
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 ...

Association between levobupivacaine and pancuronium. Interference in neuromuscular transmission and blockade in rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (7), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of levobupivacaine on neuromuscular transmission and neuromuscular blockade produced by pancuronium in vitro. METHODS: Thirty rats were distributed into groups (n = 5) according to the drug used alone or in combination: Group I - levobupivacaine (5 µg.mL-1); ...

Survey of postoperative residual curarization, acute respiratory events and approach of anesthesiologists

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (1), 2016
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: residual paralysis following the use of neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) without neuromuscular monitoring remains a clinical problem, even when NMBDs are used. This study surveys postoperative residual curarization and critical respiratory events in the recovery room, as we...

Use of neuromuscular blockers in Brazil

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 65 (5), 2015
ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate how Brazilian anesthesiologists are using neuromuscular blockers, focusing on how they establish the diagnosis of postoperative residual curarization and the incidence of complications associated with the use of neuromuscular blockers. A questionnaire w...

Anestesia regional: casos complicados y factores asociados, Hospital Escuela Universitario, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, 2012-2013
Regional anesthesia: complicated cases and associated factors, Hospital Escuela Universitario, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, 2012-2013

Rev. méd. hondur; 83 (1/2), 2015
Antecedentes: El uso de técnicas de anestesia regional se ha incrementado en los últimos años, por lo que es necesario conocer sus complicaciones. Objetivo: Describir las características de pacientes sometidos a anestesia regional y factores asociados a complicaciones, Hospital Escuela Universitario,...

Sugammadex versus neostigmine in pediatric patients: a prospective randomized study

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 64 (6), 2014
Background and objectives: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors may cause postoperative residual curarization when they are used for reversal of neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex reverses neuromuscular blockade by chemical encapsulation and is not associated with the side effects that may occur with the use ...
