This study aimed to investigate the effects of high-dose rocuronium bromide in general anesthesia for spinal surgery and analyze its safety. Methods: A total of 90 patients with spine diseases who underwent elective spinal surgery in our hospital were enrolled as study subjects, and were divided into 2-fold group (intraoperative administration of 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium bromide, n=30), 3-fold grou…
There are few reports on rocuronium infiltration under general anesthesia. We report a case of suspected accidental rocuronium infiltration during anesthesia induction. A 25-year-old woman with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, and epilepsy was scheduled for the extraction of 4 impacted third molars under general anesthesia. After induction with sevoflurane, an intravenous (IV)…
Intubation and extubation of ventilated patients are not risk-free procedures in the intensive care unit (ICU) and can be associated with morbidity and mortality. Intubation in the ICU is frequently required in emergency situations for patients with an unstable cardiovascular or respiratory system. Under these circumstances, it is a highrisk procedure with life-threatening complications (20–5…
Anaesthesia represents one of the most important medical advances in history,and,nowadays, can widely beconsidered safe,thanks to the discovery of new drugs and the adoption of modern technologies .Nevertheless,anaesthetic practices still represent cause for concern regarding the consequence sthey produce. Various anaesthetics are frequently used without knowing their effects on specific diseas…
The choice of drug used to facilitate endotracheal intubation in trauma patients during rapid sequence induction (RSI) may have an impact on survival. Ketamine is commonly used in the hemodynamically unstable trauma patient although it has been associated with side effects. This review sought to investigate whether ketamine should be preferred over other induction agents for RSI in trauma pati…
Neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) are now used less frequently in critically ill patients than they were 15 years ago, mainlyrnbecause of improved techniques of artificialrnventilation
Adequate maintenance of airways in patients undergoing surgeries under general anesthesia was throughrnproper intubation. This was achieved by the extensive usage of neuromuscular blocking drugs, which provided goodrnintubation conditions and relaxation of the muscles. Neuromuscular blockers play a key role in general anesthesia.rnRocuronium and vecuronium are used as nondepolarizing muscle rel…
The study was carried out in 90 patients aged 16-60 years, of ASA I - II and Mallampati I - II who were scheduled to undergornvarious surgeries under general anaesthesia. The patients were divided into three groups. All the groups were compared for the timernof onset of muscle relaxation, intubating conditions, and haemodynamic changes
