Application


  • The feasibility of the posterior tibial nerve-flexor hallucis brevis pathway applied in neuromuscular monitoring: This multicentric, controlled, and prospective clinical trial investigates a new method for neuromuscular monitoring using Atracurium besylate, providing insights into improving surgical anesthesia practices (Chen et al., 2024).

  • Onset and duration of action of escalating doses of atracurium in anesthetized healthy goats: This study assesses the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Atracurium besylate in veterinary medicine, highlighting its efficacy and safety in non-human subjects, which is crucial for translating findings to human clinical settings (Ishihara et al., 2024).

  • Under-dosing and over-dosing of neuromuscular blocking drugs and reversal agents: beware of the risks: This editorial discusses the critical balance required in dosing Atracurium besylate to optimize patient outcomes and minimize side effects in surgical settings, emphasizing the importance of precise dosing for effective neuromuscular blockade (Hunter and Blobner, 2024).

  • Comparison of the Onset of Action, Maintenance, and Recovery of Three Weight-based Dosing of Cisatracurium in Patients with Morbid Obesity in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: Although focused on Cisatracurium, this study provides comparative insights that could be applicable to similar studies on Atracurium besylate, particularly in terms of dose adjustment for specific patient populations undergoing surgical procedures (Rokhtabnak et al., 2023).

  • Neuromuscular Blockade: This piece provides a broad overview of neuromuscular blocking agents like Atracurium besylate, discussing their mechanisms and applications in clinical anesthesia, which is essential for understanding the full scope of these drugs′ utility in medical practice (Cook and Simons, 2024).

The α2-adrenergic agonist dexmedetomidine is a sedative and can be used as an adjunct to anesthetics. Our primary goal was thus to determine the extent to which dexmedetomidine reduces the requirement for propofol and remifentanil. This double-blinded, randomized study (NCT00921284)

Microvascular alterations and intra-abdominal hypertension are both involved in development of organ failure. It is not known whether increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is associated with microcirculatory perfusion derangements. Transient increase in IAP induced by pneumoperitoneum affects sublingual microcirculation. 16 laparoscopic

Lung resection surgery is associated with an inflammatory reaction. The use of 1-lung ventilation (OLV) seems to increase the likelihood of this reaction. Different prophylactic and therapeutic measures have been investigated to prevent lung injury secondary to OLV. Lidocaine, a
