Pancuronium for rapid induction technique for tracheal intubation.

E M Brown, D Krishnaprasad, B G Smiler

    Canadian Anaesthetists' Society Journal
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pancuronium is a viable alternative to suxamethonium for rapid tracheal intubation. Higher doses of pancuronium proved effective when suxamethonium is not suitable.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Rapid sequence induction is critical for emergency tracheal intubation.
    • Suxamethonium is commonly used but has contraindications.
    • Pancuronium is an alternative neuromuscular blocking agent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy of suxamethonium with varying doses of pancuronium for rapid sequence induction.
    • To determine suitable alternative dosages of pancuronium for tracheal intubation.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study involving suxamethonium (2 mg.kg-1) and pancuronium (0.1, 0.15, 0.2 mg.kg-1).
    • Evaluation of neuromuscular blockade for rapid tracheal intubation using a crash technique.

    Main Results:

    • Pancuronium at 0.1 mg.kg-1 was less effective than suxamethonium.
    • Higher doses of pancuronium (0.15 mg.kg-1 and 0.2 mg.kg-1) demonstrated satisfactory results.
    • Pancuronium 0.15 mg.kg-1 is an effective alternative when suxamethonium is contraindicated.

    Conclusions:

    • Pancuronium is a suitable alternative for rapid sequence induction.
    • Dosage adjustment of pancuronium is crucial for effective tracheal intubation.
    • Clinical decisions should consider patient-specific factors and drug contraindications.
