| Popis: | Continuous IV adenosine triphosphate administration has been used during surgery in the expectation of analgesic and vasodilative effects. Because adenosine triphosphate inhibits neuromuscular transmission, we investigated whether the neuromuscular effect of vecuronium was enhanced by IV adenosine triphosphate in 29 patients randomly given either continuous IV adenosine triphosphate 0.1 mg.kg(-1).min(-1) or 0.9% NaCl when undergoing elective minor surgery. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol. Neuromuscular monitoring was recorded from the adductor pollicis muscle using electromyography with train-of-four stimulation of the ulnar nerve. Vecuronium 25, 30, or 40 microg/kg was given and lag time, onset time, and maximum block were recorded. ED50 and ED95 values for each group were derived from least squares linear regression analysis. ED50 and ED95 values were 29 microg/kg and 44 microg/kg, respectively, for the adenosine triphosphate group and 26 microg/kg and 46 microg/kg, respectively, for the controls. Differences in lag time, onset time, and neuromuscular responses between the two groups were not statistically significant. A significantly larger number of patients in the adenosine triphosphate group showed hypotension (systolic blood pressure |
