We have examined the effects of different benzyl-isoquinolinium and steroidal neuromuscular blocking compounds on plasma concentrations of histamine, heart rate and arterial pressure in surgical patients. A single, rapid (5-s) bolus of mivacurium 0.2 mg kg-1, atracurium 0.6 mg kg-1, tubocurarine 0.5 mg kg-1, vecuronium 0.1 mg kg-1 or rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1 was administered to 75 patients (n = 15 in each group). Anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone 6 mg kg-1 i.v. and maintained with isoflurane and 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen. Venous blood samples were obtained before induction, 1 min after thiopentone and 1, 3 and 5 min after administration of the neuromuscular blocking drug. Mivacurium, atracurium and tubocurarine caused 370%, 234% and 252% increases in plasma histamine concentrations at 1 min, respectively. Corresponding values at 3 min were 223%, 148% and 157%, respectively. These changes were significant (P < 0.01) at 1 and 3 min. In contrast, the rocuronium and vecuronium groups had no significant changes in either plasma histamine concentrations or haemodynamic variables.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007546 Isoquinolines A group of compounds with the heterocyclic ring structure of benzo(c)pyridine. The ring structure is characteristic of the group of opium alkaloids such as papaverine. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D003473 Neuromuscular Nondepolarizing Agents Drugs that interrupt transmission at the skeletal neuromuscular junction without causing depolarization of the motor end plate. They prevent acetylcholine from triggering muscle contraction and are used as muscle relaxants during electroshock treatments, in convulsive states, and as anesthesia adjuvants.

D006632 Histamine An amine derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of HISTIDINE. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, a vasodilator, and also a centrally acting neurotransmitter. Ceplene,Histamine Dihydrochloride,Histamine Hydrochloride,Peremin
D006636 Histamine Release The secretion of histamine from mast cell and basophil granules by exocytosis. This can be initiated by a number of factors, all of which involve binding of IgE, cross-linked by antigen, to the mast cell or basophil's Fc receptors. Once released, histamine binds to a number of different target cell receptors and exerts a wide variety of effects. Histamine Liberation,Histamine Liberations,Histamine Releases
