If steady-state anaesthesia with isoflurane or enflurane has been established, the recommended initial Mivacron dose should be reduced by up to 25%.
Cardiovascular support may be provided by proper positioning of the patient and administration of fluids or vasopressor agents as required.Pharmacotherapeutic group: Peripherally acting muscle relaxants, other quaternary ammonium compounds, ATC code: M03AC10.Mivacurium is a short-acting, non-depolarising skeletal muscle relaxant which is hydrolysed by plasma cholinesterase.

Infusion Rates for Maintenance of Neuromuscular Block During Opioid/Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Anesthesia Using MIVACRON Injection (2 mg/mL)We comply with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information - • Physiological variation as in pregnancy and the puerperium (see Pregnancy and Lactation). However, the risk of haemodynamic side-effects especially decreases in blood pressure may be increased.It is essential to maintain a patent airway together with assisted positive pressure ventilation until spontaneous respiration is adequate. Adjustments of the infusion rate should be made and should be increments of approximately 1 microgram/kg/min (0.06 mg/kg/hr). A Mivacron-t alkalmazzák felnőtteknél, gyermekeknél és 2 hónapos vagy annál idősebb csecsemőknél: - izomlazításra műtétek ideje alatt, beleértve a szívműtéteket is, - az intubálás (tubus bevezetése a légcsőbe) és a gépi lélegeztetés megkönnyítésére. Asthma, verabreicht werden. Doses of MIVACRON should be individualized (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY - Individualization of Dosages).Factors that may warrant dosage adjustment include but may not be limited to: the presence of significant kidney, liver, or cardiovascular disease, obesity … Where such agents are administered through the same indwelling needle or cannula as used for Mivacron injection, and compatibility has not been demonstrated, it is recommended that each drug is flushed through with physiological saline.Ampoules are equipped with the OPC (One Point Cut) opening system and must be opened following the below instructions:1. hold with the hand the bottom part of the ampoule as indicated in picture 12. put the other hand on the top of the ampoule positioning the thumb above the coloured point and press as indicated in picture 23016 Lake Drive, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, IrelandTo bookmark a medicine you must sign up and log in.To view the changes to a medicine you must sign up and log in. Pharmacodynamic data for maintenance doses are summarised in the table below together with recommended infusion rates:The neuromuscular blocking action of mivacurium is potentiated by inhalational agents.

Plasma cholinesterase activity may be diminished in the presence of genetic abnormalities of plasma cholinesterase (e.g. • Severe generalised tetanus, tuberculosis and other severe or chronic infections. When suggestions are available use up and down arrows to review and ENTER to select. 1 Definition. Doses of 0.1 mg/kg administered during narcotic anaesthesia each provide approximately 15 minutes of additional clinically effective block. barbiturate solutions). Severe anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reaction. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow Card Scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard.Prolonged muscle paralysis and its consequences are the main signs of overdosage with neuromuscular blocking agents.

Mivacron has been administered in this way with minimal haemodynamic effects to patients undergoing cardiac surgery.In patients with end-stage renal failure the clinically effective duration of block produced by 0.15 mg/kg is approximately 1.5 times longer than in patients with normal renal function. This prolongation is related to the markedly reduced plasma cholinesterase activity seen in these patients.

Such drugs include various antibiotics, beta-blockers (propranolol, oxprenolol), antiarrhythmic drugs (procainamide, quinidine), antirheumatic drugs (chloroquine, D-pencillamine), trimetaphan, chlorpromazine, steroids, phenytoin and lithium.The administration of combinations of non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents in conjunction with Mivacron may produce a degree of neuromuscular blockade in excess of that which might be expected from an equipotent total dose of Mivacron.

Mivacurium was non-mutagenic in the Ames salmonella assay, the mouse lymphoma assay, the human lymphocyte assay and the There is no information available on whether Mivacurium has carcinogenic potential.Animal studies have indicated that mivacurium has no adverse effect on foetal development.Mivacurium is acidic (approximately pH 4.5) and should not be mixed with highly alkaline solutions, e.g.
