  • Title: [The duration of action of vecuronium is unchanged when administered with propofol].
    Author: Sato M, Nagata O, Sugai N, Yajima C, Hanaoka K.
    Journal: Masui; 1998 Aug; 47(8):968-71. PubMed ID: 9753962.
    Abstract:
    We examined the difference in the duration of action of vecuronium injected through a venous line infused with propofol and the duration of vecuronium infused into another venous line without propofol, in order to investigate the interaction between vecuronium and propofol within the intravenous lines. The subjects of the study are 8 patients, (ASA grade 1 or 2, aged from 20 to 50 years, 6 males and 2 females), who had undergone elective operations under general anesthesia. The mean duration of action of vecuronium injected through the venous line infused with propofol was 32.3 +/- 9.0 (min), while that for vecuronium injected through the venous line without propofol was 32.1 +/- 8.6 (min). There was no significant difference in the duration of action of vecuronium between the two conditions. We conclude that since vecuronium can be injected through the venous lines infused with propofol without interaction, there is no need for an additional venous line without propofol when vecuronium is administered under propofol anesthesia.
