neostigmine and Neuromuscular Junction Diseases

neostigmine has been researched along with Neuromuscular Junction Diseases in 1 studies

Neostigmine: A cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants such as gallamine and tubocurarine. Neostigmine, unlike PHYSOSTIGMINE, does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
neostigmine : A quaternary ammonium ion comprising an anilinium ion core having three methyl substituents on the aniline nitrogen, and a 3-[(dimethylcarbamoyl)oxy] substituent at position 3. It is a parasympathomimetic which acts as a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Neuromuscular Junction Diseases: Conditions characterized by impaired transmission of impulses at the NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION. This may result from disorders that affect receptor function, pre- or postsynaptic membrane function, or ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE activity. The majority of diseases in this category are associated with autoimmune, toxic, or inherited conditions.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Residual Neuromuscular Blockade (NMB)(Train of Four [TOF] Ratio <0.9) at Time of Tracheal Extubation

Neuromuscular functioning was monitored at time of tracheal extubation by applying three TOF electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 and T4 refer to the magnitudes (height) of the first and fourth twitches, respectively, after TOF nerve stimulation. The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from NMB, with a higher ratio indicating greater recovery from NMB. A T4/T1 Ratio of <0.9 is indicative of residual NMB. (NCT01318382)
Timeframe: Up to 1 minute prior to tracheal extubation

Percentage of Participants With Residual NMB (TOF Ratio <0.9) Upon Arrival to the Post-anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)

Neuromuscular functioning was monitored at time of PACU arrival by applying three TOF electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 and T4 refer to the magnitudes (height) of the first and fourth twitches, respectively, after TOF nerve stimulation. The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from NMB, with a higher ratio indicating greater recovery from NMB. A T4/T1 Ratio of <0.9 is indicative of residual NMB. (NCT01318382)
Timeframe: Up to 2 minutes prior to PACU arrival

Percentage of Participants With Residual NMB at Various TOF Ratios (<0.6, ≥ 0.6 to <0.7, ≥ 0.7 to <0.8, ≥0.8 to <0.9) Upon Arrival to the PACU

Neuromuscular functioning was monitored at time of PACU arrival by applying three TOF electrical stimulations to the ulnar nerve and assessing twitch response at the adductor pollicis muscle. T1 and T4 refer to the magnitudes (height) of the first and fourth twitches, respectively, after TOF nerve stimulation. The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from NMB, with a higher ratio indicating greater recovery from NMB. (NCT01318382)
Timeframe: Up to 2 minutes prior to PACU arrival

Percentage of Participants With Residual NMB at Various TOF Ratios (<0.6, ≥0.6 to <0.7, ≥0.7 to <0.8, ≥0.8 to <0.9) at Tracheal Extubation

The T4/T1 Ratio (expressed as a decimal of up to 1.0) indicates the extent of recovery from NMB, with a higher ratio indicating greater recovery from NMB. (NCT01318382)
