Objective: An UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of atracurium (ATC), dexmedetomidine (DEX), midazolam (MDZ) and 1-hydroxymidazolam (1-OH-MDZ) and the pharmacokinetics of ATC, DEX, MDZ and 1-OH-MDZ in patients undergoing aortic dissection surgery were investigated.
Methods: The analytes were extracted by acetonitrile precipitation and separated on an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.

Background: Previous studies reported a slow neuromuscular response with the currently recommended dose of cisatracurium in critically ill patients. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of cisatracurium in critically ill patients are still limited. To our knowledge, this is the first study performed to better understand the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of a loading dose of cisatracurium and to identify factors that affect PK and PD changes in critically ill patients.

A quick literature search using "sex/gender" vs. the commonly used hypnotic propofol or neuromuscular-blocking agent cisatracurium will reveal numerous contradictory sex difference publications depending on the ethnic-geographic location of where these studies were conducted. We induced anesthesia with cisatracurium besylate (GlaxoSmithKline) 100 μg kg administered exactly 1 minute following propofol (AstraZeneca) 2 mg kg .
