Abstract:
A continuous infusion technique for atracurium was investigated. It provided a stable neuromuscular block, with a mean infusion rate of 0.008 mg/kg/min after an initial bolus of 0.5 mg/kg. A wide individual response was found and an arbitrary infusion rate based on mass alone is therefore not possible. The above rate is thus a starting point and should be adjusted according to individual requirements, preferably by using a peripheral nerve stimulator. The technique obviates the need for repeated increments of atracurium during lengthy surgical procedures.
