Atracurium
別名: Tracrium, Nimbex
This medication is a specialized muscle relaxant used **strictly in a hospital setting** during general anesthesia. It is administered by a veterinarian while your pet is fully asleep and connected to a breathing machine. It ensures the muscles are completely relaxed to allow the surgeon to perform delicate procedures safely.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
用途
- Neuromuscular blockade during anaesthesia
- Neuromuscular blockade during anaesthesia
給藥方式
可能的副作用
- Histamine release (especially with rapid IV injection)
- Bronchospasm
- Hypotension
- Tachycardia
- Histamine release (especially with rapid IV administration)
注意事項與禁忌
- Conscious or inadequately anesthetized animals
- Lack of positive pressure ventilation facilities
- Lack of trained personnel to monitor neuromuscular blockade
- Conscious animals (must NEVER be administered unless the animal is adequately anesthetized)
- > **CRITICAL WARNING:** Do not administer unless the animal is adequately anaesthetized and facilities to provide positive pressure ventilation are available. * **Histamine Release:** Can precipitate the release of histamine after rapid IV administration, resulting in bronchospasm and hypotension. Diluting the drug in normal saline and giving it slowly IV minimizes these effects. * **Physiological Factors:** Hypothermia, acidosis, and hypokalaemia will prolong the duration of action of the neuromuscular blockade. * **Myasthenia Gravis:** Use the low end of the dose range in patients with myasthenia gravis. * **Monitoring:** Monitoring (using a peripheral nerve stimulator) and pharmacological reversal of the neuromuscular blockade is strongly recommended to ensure complete recovery before the end of anaesthesia.
