Selection of neuromuscular blocking agents in patients undergoing renal transplantation under general anesthesia.
To study the pharmacodynamics of vecuronium,atracurium, mivacurium and rocuronium in patients with end-stage renal failure. ⋯ All four muscle relaxants could be safely used in patients with end-stage renal failure. Onset of the relaxants were, in some cases, accelerated and no-response period of mivacurium was prolonged in patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing dialysis therapy. End-stage renal failure prolonged the no-response period and duration of action of vecuronium and rocuronium after repeated incremental doses, but did not alter those attributed to atracurium.
