Toshiyuki et al. Effect of propofol in combination with
ephedrine upon the onset time of cisatracurium. Rev. Assoc. Med.
Bras. [online]. 2007, vol.53, n.3, pp. 272-275. ISSN 0104-4230.
OBJECTIVE: The onset time of neuromuscular blocking drugs is
partially determined by circulatory factors, including muscle
blood flow and cardiac output. The aim of the present paper was
to: 1) compare the haemodynamic effects of adding different
doses of ephedrine to an induction dose of propofol and
remifentanil. 2) onset time of cisatracurium. METHODS: Sixty
patients were randomly allocated into three groups: G1 - 1%
propofol; G2 - 1% propofol + 0.5 ephedrine and G3 - 1% prop
