VECURONIUM AND CARDIAC ARREST
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Vecuronium is widely used to provide skeletal muscle relaxation in mechanically ventilated Intensive Care Unit patients. The absence of significant cardiovascular side-effects is one of its stated advantages. There have been isolated reports of Brady-dysrhythmias including sinus arrest and atrioventricular block when vecuronium was administered with other agents especially opioids. We report a case of cardiac arrest following administration of vecuronium alone in a mechanically ventilated child in the Intensive Care Unit.Keywords: Vecuronium, Sinus arrest, Atrioventricular block.
