Doxacuriumchloride: a preliminary clinical trial. The onset, duration of action and reversibility of doxacurium were studied in 27 anaesthetized patients, using doses of 37.5 micrograms kg-1 (1.5 x ED95) and 62.5 micrograms kg-1 (2.5 x ED95). Onset was slow and, whilst tracheal intubation was always possible 3 or 4 min after injection, the conditions were not ideal. With the higher dose a mean
Comparison of hemodynamic responses to pipecuronium and doxacurium in patients undergoing valvular surgery while anesthetized with fentanyl. Hemodynamic responses to pipecuronium bromide or doxacuriumchloride were compared in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery. Thirty ASA class III-IV patients of either sex, mean age 62 +/- 3 years (+/- SD), weight 70 +/- 3 kg, were randomly selected
Neuromuscular effects of doxacuriumchloride in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs. To determine the neuromuscular effects of doxacuriumchloride and to construct a dose-response curve for the drug in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs. Randomized, controlled trial. Six healthy, adult, mixed-breed dogs (five female, one male) weighing 24.8 +/- 2.8 kg. Anesthesia was induced with isoflurane in oxygen
in the sensitivity of the neuromuscular junction to neuromuscular-blocking drugs with increasing age. Neuromuscular-blocking drugs that undergo a significant degree of organ-dependent elimination, such as pancuronium bromide, vecuronium bromide, rocuronium bromide and doxacuriumchloride, may have a significantly prolonged duration of action in elderly patients. These drugs can be used safely in elderly patients
Hemodynamic effects of doxacuriumchloride in patients receiving oxygen sufentanil anesthesia for coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement. Doxacuriumchloride is an investigational long-acting neuromuscular blocking drug, which has been shown to be devoid of cardiovascular side effects when administered in modest doses to healthy patients. This is the first hemodynamic study
The neuromuscular blocking and cardiovascular effects of doxacuriumchloride in patients receiving nitrous oxide narcotic anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate neuromuscular and cardiovascular effects of doxacuriumchloride, a new long-acting neuromuscular blocking agent, during a stable state of nitrous oxide and narcotic anesthesia. Ninety-three ASA physical status I or II
