Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialMivacurium infusion requirement and spontaneous recovery of neuromuscular transmission in children anaesthetized with nitrous oxide and fentanyl, halothane, isoflurane or sevoflurane.
Forty children, aged 3-11 years, ASA I or II, were allocated at random to receive N2O/O2-fentanyl or 1 MAC halothane, isoflurane or sevoflurane-N2O/O2 anaesthesia. Mivacurium was used for muscle relaxation. ⋯ Spontaneous recovery from T1=10% to TOF ratio=0.7 was insignificantly prolonged from 6.3 to 12.5 min in the fentanyl group to 7-16.5 min in children anaesthetized with inhalational anaesthetics.
