Succinylcholine (Anectine) |
Class: depolarizing neuromuscular blocker Action: binds to acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction causing depolarization and subsequent paralysis Indications: rapid sequence intubation (RSI) Contraindications: hyperkalemia,neuromuscular disease, crush injury, burns,increased intracranial pressure, severe trauma Doses: 1-2 mg/kg Routes: IV,IO Adverse effects: hyoerkalemia,bradycardia, prolonged paralysis, malignant hyperthermia, increased intracranial pressure, muscle fasciculations, trismus |

Vecuronium (norcuron) |
Class: Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker Action: binds to acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction causing paralysis Indications: rapid sequence intubation (RSI) contraindications: allergic Doses: 0.1-0.15 mg/kg Routes: IV,IO Adverse effects: skeletal muscle weakness, malignant hyperthermia, apnea |
