Abstract:ObjectiveTo compare the variability in the duration of action of a single dose of rocuronium or cisatracurium, and duration of subsequent top‐up doses in anesthetized dogs.AnimalsThirty dogs requiring ophthalmic surgery with neuromuscular block.ProceduresNeuromuscular function was monitored with train‐of‐four (TOF) and acceleromyography. Dogs received an initial dose of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg, or cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg IV, which produced complete neuromuscular block. Upon return of the first response (T1) of T… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
