The hemodynamic effects of three commonly used muscle relaxants, pancuronium, vecuronium, and atracurium were investigated during induction of anesthesia with sufentanil and lorazepam in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Direct hemodynamic variables were recorded, and indirect parameters were calculated using standard formulae. Changes in heart rate differed with the three muscle relaxants. Pancuronium increased the heart rate whereas vecuronium and atracurium produced a decrease 5 minutes after induction (P less than 0.05). No differences were found in any other parameter during the study. A slow induction with sufentanil, lorazepam, and any of the three muscle relaxants was shown to minimize the hemodynamic changes.

D008140 Lorazepam A benzodiazepine used as an anti-anxiety agent with few side effects. It also has hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and considerable sedative properties and has been proposed as a preanesthetic agent.

D009294 Narcotics Agents that induce NARCOSIS. Narcotics include agents that cause somnolence or induced sleep (STUPOR); natural or synthetic derivatives of OPIUM or MORPHINE or any substance that has such effects. They are potent inducers of ANALGESIA and OPIOID-RELATED DISORDERS. Analgesics, Narcotic,Narcotic Analgesics,Narcotic,Narcotic Effect,Narcotic Effects,Effect, Narcotic,Effects, Narcotic
D010197 Pancuronium A bis-quaternary steroid that is a competitive nicotinic antagonist. As a neuromuscular blocking agent it is more potent than CURARE but has less effect on the circulatory system and on histamine release.

D002302 Cardiac Output The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat). Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac
D005283 Fentanyl A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance.
