[Clinical, neurophysiological and hemodynamic effects of a new nondepolarizing myorelaxant mivacurium in heart surgery patients].
Thirty patients aged 23 to 65 years with ASA class III operated on the heart under total intravenous anesthesia were examined after the Good Clinical Practice protocol. Mivacurium in bolus dose of 0.2 mg/kg was injected for intubation of the trachea; neuromuscular blocking (NMB) was maintained by a repeated injection of the drug in a dose of 0.15 mg/kg, after which it was infused at a rate of 1 to 10 micrograms/kg/min. Accelerometric control of neuromuscular conduction was carried out by the Organon (Belgium) TOF-Guard device. Central and peripheral hemodynamics was monitored. Side effects of the drug were recorded. Bolus injection of mivacurium in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg caused T1 suppression (90%) after 2.6 +/- 0.7 min. Maximal (97.7 +/- 4.5%) suppression was observed after 4.17 +/- 2.5 min. The conditions of intubation of the trachea after 3.9 +/- 1.8 min in the presence of 78 to 100% T1 suppression (97.7 +/- 4.5%) were considered excellent or good in 96.6% of cases. Clinically and neurophysiologically sufficient muscle relaxation after the first injection of the drug persisted for 27.7 +/- 7.3 min. Minimal rate of infusion for maintaining the NMB at 95 +/- 4% level of T1 suppression was 6.3 +/- 1.7 micrograms/kg/min. Bolus injection of mivacurium in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg for 60 sec involved a 1-3-min drop of the mean arterial pressure by 10.5% and a 10.3% decrease of heart rate. Repeated bolus injection of the drug in a dose of 0.15 mg/kg and its infusion did not change the peripheral and central hemodynamics. The most typical side effect of the drug in a dose of 0.2 mg/kg is short-term reversible reddening of the skin of the face and neck, observed in 20% of patients. The results permit us to consider mivacurium as an effective, safe, and controllable agent, which can be used in cardiosurgical patients.
