Overview
Mivacurium can be considered as an optimal choice for muscle relaxation in short duration surgeries, as butyrylcholinesterase can rapidly and reliably degrade this benzylisoquinoline muscle relaxant in vivo. However the histamine release related to a rapid high-dose injection, unsatisfactory intubation conditions and unexpected delay in recovery in patients may be encountered with butyrylcholinesterase deficiency
Description
Intubation in emergency and full stomach patients stands as a challenge in anaesthesia. Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is the key player technique in avoiding gastric contents aspiration risk. Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents as mivacurium are of clinical significance in the anesthetic management of patient. Mivacurium has been has been preferred in situations who necessitating hemodynamic solidity all over the surgery, as only transient tachycardia and hypotension were recorded
Aim of work Using high doses of mivacurium can provide accepted condition of emergency intubation within favorable time - monitoring hemodynamics changes during and after intubation, time of recovery from high doses of muscle relaxant
