Obesity Female Patients Require General Anaesthesia With Intubation and Atracurium Curarization Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Intubation Conditions With the Use of Atracurium After a Fixed Three-minute Delay
The purpose of this study is to evaluate intubation conditions with the use of atracurium after a fixed three-minute delay
The recommended dose of a non-depolarizing curare to facilitate tracheal intubation is twice the active dose 95 (the dose that reduces muscle force by 95%). At this dosage, curarization of the laryngeal adductors allowing relaxation and abduction (opening) of the vocal cords is considered certain. With atracurium, the dose for intubation is 0.5 mg.kg-1 and the time to full effect is approximately 3 minutes. With the use of newer hypnotics, there are no data evaluating the conditions for intubation after a fixed time of 3 minutes as with current anesthetic practices. ;
