This is a prospective hospital based study. 100 patients belonging to ASA grade I or II physical status aged 18 to 70 years were divided into two groups of 50 patients each. Group 1 received pipecuronium bromide in the dose of .08 mg / kg and group 2 patients received pancuronium bromide in dose of 0.1 mg/kg. Each patient was pre medicated uniformly. Time for onset of apnoea for pipecuronium and pancuronium were 91.64+ 3.59 sec. and 118.84 + 12.53 sec. respectively. The mean time for intubation was 126.60 +12.55 sec. and 144.60 + 22.87 sec. with pipecuronium and pancuronium respectively. Mean duration of block for pipecuronium was 78.64 + 8.97 min. the block for pancuronium lasted from +36-40 min with a mean duration of block 41.60+ 5.57 min. The mean duration of maintenance dose in pipecuronium cases was 45.08 + 7.19 min., while it was 27.06 + 5.01 min in pancuronium cases.

  • Reversal of Pipecuronium-Induced Moderate Neuromuscular Block with Sugammadex in the Presence of a Sevoflurane Anesthetic: a Randomized Trial
    RESEARCH REPORT Reversal of Pipecuronium-Induced Moderate Neuromuscular Block with Sugammadex in the Presence of a Sevoflurane Anesthetic: A Randomized Trial Edömér Tassonyi, MD, PhD, DSc, Adrienn Pongrácz, MD, Réka Nemes, MD, László Asztalos, MD, Szabolcs Lengyel, PhD, DSc, and Béla Fülesdi, MD, PhD, Dsc * * * * BACKGROUND: Pipecuronium† is a steroidal neuromuscular* blocking agent. Sugammadex, a relaxant binding γ-cyclodextrin derivative, reverses the effect of rocuronium, vecuronium, and pancuronium. We investigated whether sugammadex reverses moderate pipecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade (NMB) and the doses required to achieve reversal. METHODS: This single-center, randomized, double-blind, 5-group parallel-arm study comprised 50 patients undergoing general anesthesia with propofol, sevoflurane, fentanyl, and pipe- curonium. Neuromuscular monitoring was performed with acceleromyography (TOF-Watch SX®) according to international standards. When the NMB recovered spontaneously to train-of-four count 2, patients randomly received 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0 mg/kg of sugammadex or placebo. Recovery time from sugammadex injection to normalized train-of-four (TOF) ratio 0.9 was the primary outcome variable. The recovery time from the sugammadex injection to final T1 was the secondary end point. Postoperative neuromuscular functions were also assessed. RESULTS: Each patient who received sugammadex recovered to a normalized TOF ratio of 0.9 within 5.0 minutes (95% lower confidence interval for the lowest dose 70.1%; for all doses 90.8%) and 79% of these patients reached a normalized TOF ratio 0.9 within 2.0 minutes (95% lower confidence interval for the lowest dose 26.7%; for all doses 63.7%). T1 recovered several minutes after the TOF ratio.

  • Pharmacology Cito
    Pharmacology Cito 5 Read: it is important! Dear future physicians and pharmaceutists! The scientific and pedagogical staff of the Pharmacology department of the National University of Pharmacy (Kharkiv) presents a new textbook "Pharmacology – Cito!" to you. We want to change the myth that it is impossible to learn pharmacology quickly and qualitatively. The textbook "Pharmacology – Cito!" is published for those, who have decided to connect his or her profession with medicines, but think that a great amount of the information in pharmacology is hard to learn. Taking this fact into account we have decided to help those, who wish to master pharmacology in logical, fast - "Cito!"- version. Not be afraid of pharmacology! The 40-year experience of teaching pharmacology testifies that for the last 10-15 years a tendency of reducing the amount of classroom hours in pharmacology because of increasing the amount of the individual work is being observed. However, because of the lack of time and the constant increasing volume of information in pharmacology, everyone has not enough time to master it soundly and qualitatively. This textbook trains future pharmaceutists and physicians in the pharmacological logic, i.e. knowing the mechanisms of drug action one can understand their pharmacodynamics, naturally, on the basis of pharmacodynamics one can find logically the indications to their application and from their side effects the contraindications can be seen. The information about the peculiarities of medicines has been generalized and given as a pharmacological ―face‖ in tables. The volume of this textbook in pharmacology is sufficient for acquiring the confidence in the opportunity of the further improving of knowledge in this discipline, which is important for a physician and a pharmaceutist.
