Description

Cisatracurium besylate is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used for muscle relaxation during surgery and mechanical ventilation. It is a steroidal bisquaternary ammonium compound, synthesized through a multi-step process involving the reaction of a steroid derivative with a bisquaternary ammonium reagent. Cisatracurium acts by competing with acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, preventing muscle contraction. It has a rapid onset of action and intermediate duration of effect, typically lasting for 30-45 minutes. Cisatracurium is metabolized by Hofmann elimination, a process that is not dependent on hepatic or renal function. This makes it suitable for patients with impaired liver or kidney function. Cisatracurium is studied extensively due to its favorable pharmacokinetic properties, rapid onset of action, and predictable duration of effect, making it a valuable tool in various clinical settings. However, it can cause histamine release, which can lead to hypotension and bronchospasm in some patients.'

Roles (2)

RoleDescription
muscle relaxantA drug used to produce muscle relaxation (excepting neuromuscular blocking agents). Its primary clinical and therapeutic use is the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. Also used for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in multiple sclerosis.
nicotinic antagonistAn antagonist at the nicotinic cholinergic receptor.

Drug Classes (2)

ClassDescription
diesterA diester is a compound containing two ester groups.
quaternary ammonium ionA derivative of ammonium, NH4(+), in which all four of the hydrogens bonded to nitrogen have been replaced with univalent (usually organyl) groups.

Timeframe: 6 months after randomization

PTSS-14: Post-traumatic Stress-like Symptoms Scores >/= 45

Does the patient have symptoms of anxiety and stress from their ICU stay? PTSS-14 is only asked at month 6 and month 12 in patient survey; total score is rated from 14 to 98 and a higher score indicates having more post-traumatic stress syndrome related symptoms. Participants with scores greater than or equal to 45 were reported. (NCT02509078)
Timeframe: 12 months after randomization

MoCA-Blind: Montreal Cognitive Assessment

How clearly can patient think and recall things? MoCA-Blind is only asked in patient survey; total score is rated from 0 to 30 and a higher score indicates better cognitive performance. Normal range: 26 or greater. (NCT02509078)
Timeframe: 3 months after randomization

Last Recorded Train-of-four (TOF) Ratio Before Tracheal Extubation or Removal of Supraglottic Airway Device in Patients Receiving a Non-depolarizing NMBA

The train-of-four (TOF) ratio is the ratio between the last and first measurements after four stimuli of the ulnar nerve at 2 Hz. The ratio should be at least 0.9 before tracheal extubation. (NCT02914119)
Timeframe: in the period from induction of anaesthesia to termination of anaesthesia, usually 2 hours

Time Until Complete Reversal of Neuromuscular Blockade

Measure how long it takes to return from a TOF of 2 to a TOF ≥ 0.9. (NCT03904550)
Timeframe: In the operating room, the amount of time after administration of the reversal syringe to reach recovery of neuromuscular function (TOFR ≥ 90%) assessed up to 30 minutes.
