Neostigmine and edrophonium for reversal of pipecuronium neuromuscular blockade

Abstract: Neostigmine 0.06 rag. kg -I or edrophonium I rag. kg -I were administered to two groups of 15 patients each for antagonism of pipecuronium-induced neuromuscular block at 20% spontaneous recovery of the frst twitch (Tt) of the train-of-four (TOF) stimulation. The mean onset of action (+ SEM) of edrophonium (18. I +-2,4 sec) was significantly more rapid (P < 0.01) than that ofneostigmine (47.6 +-4 sec

“…Neostigmine methylsulfate (NEO), chemically 3‐((Dimethylcarbamoyl) oxy)‐N, N, N‐trimethylanilinium methyl sulphate, was chosen as a model in our study because of its quaternary ammonium group and the degradable carbamate linkage as shown in Figure 1. NEO is a hydrolysable anti‐cholinesterase drug that reverses the effect of neuromuscular blockers which are widely used during anesthesia in hospitals [15]. NEO is frequently used to reverse the neuromuscular block because of its low cost [16].…”

“…29 Moreover, it antagonizes the effect of neuromuscular blockers which is commonly used in emergency medicine and anesthesia in hospitals. 30 Postoperative neuromuscular residual block is considered as a serious threat associated with general anesthesia during surgeries. NEO is one of the most widely used anticholinesterase for neuromuscular blockade reversal due to its low cost.…”
