Learning Objectives
Miscellaneous : Aminoglycosides
Muscle Relaxants
Depolarizing muscle relaxant
Succinylcholine, Decamethonium
Nondepolarizing muscle relaxants
Ultrashort acting
Short acting
Intermediate acting
Long acting
Depolarizing Muscle
Relaxant
Succinylcholine
What is the mechanism of action?
Physically resemble Ach
Act as acetylcholine receptor agonist
Not metabolized locally at NMJ
Metabolized by pseudocholinesterase in plasma
Depolarizing action persists > Ach
Continuous end-plate depolarization causes muscle
relaxation
SUCCINYLCHOLINE
minutes
Depolarizing Muscle
Relaxant
Succinylcholine
What is phase I neuromuscular
blockade?
Pharmacokinetics:
Administered intravenously.

Non depolarising neuromuscular blocking
drugs classification (on basis of chemical
strucure)
Gantacurium
Rapacuronium Mivacurium Vecuronium Pancuronium
GW 280430 Atracurium d-Tubocurare
Cis-atracurium Gallamine
Rocuronium Metocurine
Doxacurium
Pipecuronium
Nondepolarizing Muscle
Relaxants
What is the mechanism of action?
Compete with Ach at the binding sites
Do not depolarize the motor endplate
Act as competitive antagonist
Excessive concentration causing channel
blockade
Act at presynaptic sites, prevent movement of
Ach to release sites
Competitive Non-Competitive
Non-depolarizing Depolarizing
bronchospasm
Laudanosine toxicity-breakdown product from Hofmann elimination,
Bisquaternary benzylisoquinoline
Potency, 1/3 that of atracurium
slow onset 1.5 min with 0.25 mg/kg
short duration 12-18 min with 0.25 mg/kg
histamine release with doses 3-4 X ED95
hydrolyzed by AChE, recovery may be prolonged in
some populations (e.g. atypical AChE)
Nondepolarizing Muscle
Relaxants
Rocuronium
Analogue of vecuronium
Rapid onset 1-2 minutes, duration 20-35
minutes
Onset of action similar to that of
succinylcholine
Intubating dose 0.6 mg/kg
Elimination primarily by liver, slightly by kidney

(mg/kg) (mg/kg) (min) (min)
Anticholinesterases
Neostigmine
Onset 3-5 minutes, elimination half life 77 minutes
Pyridostigmine
Edrophonium
Antagonism of
Neuromuscular Blockade
Muscarinic side effects are minimized
by anticholinergic agents
Atropine
Dose 0.01-0.02 mg/kg
Scopolamine
Glycopyrrolate
Neostigmine
Quaternary ammonium group
Dosage : 0.04-0.08 mg/kg
Effects apparent in 5-10 min and last more than 1
hour.
Muscarinic side effects are minimized by prior or
concomitant administration of anticholinergic
agent.
Also used to treat urinary bladder atony and
paralytic ileus.
Glycopyrrolate
Dosage : 0.005-0.01 mg/kg up to 0.2-0.3 mg in adults.
Cannot cross blood-brain barrier and almost always
devoid of central nervous system and ophthalmic
activity.
Potent inhibition of salivary gland and respiratory tract
secretions.
Longer duration than atropine (2-4 hours)
Postoperative Residual Curarization
(PORC)
How to monitor?
Clinical signs
Use of nerve stimulator
Monitoring
Neuromuscular Function
Clinical signs
Signs of adequate recovery
