Presentation
QA-specific IgE detection was prospectively performed in 26 patients who presented an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to quinolones: 17 with a confirmed allergic hypersensitivity and 9 with allergic hypersensitivity not confirmed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is condensed with acetyl-CoA derived from the TCAC which is present in the cell cytoplasm. This reaction is catalyzed by choline acetyltransferase present in the nerve terminal which is inhibited by acetylcholine and acetylcholinesterase. [frca.co.uk]
In this issue of the Journal, Papazian and colleagues 1 present intriguing results of their study examining neuromuscular blockade in patients with severe, early acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). [nejm.org]
Myosin will continue to bind and move along actin sites, shortening the sarcomere, as long as calcium is present in the cell. NMBAs work in two ways to block this process. [uspharmacist.com]
NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS PRESENTED BY: DR.JAGADISH JENA DEPT.OF ANAEST.& CR.CARE VIMSAR,BURLA 2. HISTORY 3. Definition: NMBA are the drugs that act peripherally at NM-Junction and muscle fiber itself to block neuromuscular transmission. [slideshare.net]

- Intravenous Administration
Hunt et al. [ 2 ] have shown that, after intravenous administration of pancuronium (0.1 mg/kg) to patients anaesthetized with 0.5 p. cent halothane in 66 p. cent nitrous oxide in oxygen, there is a significant increase in LESP with consequent increase [hon.ch]

- Flaccid Paralysis
It does not cause activation of muscle cells and flaccid paralysis occurs as a result. [nurseslabs.com]
Workup
Patients with positive QA-specific IgE benefited from a NMBA allergologic workup. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
CONCLUSION: Most patients required treatment for agitated behaviors. The majority of treatment regimens partially or totally adhered to the guidelines. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neuromuscular blocking agents are used to induce muscle relaxation in anesthesia, endotracheal intubation, and electroshock therapy and as adjuncts in the treatment of tetanus, encephalitis, and poliomyelitis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Etiology
Etiology BChE deficiency is a multifactorial disorder. It is caused by mutations in the BChE gene. The BChE gene is located at the E1 locus on chromosome 3 (3q26.1-q26.2) and multiple atypical variants have been identified. [orpha.net]

Moreover, we present additional subgroup analyses addressing severity of hypoxemia and etiology of ARDS, as well as more-complete analyses related to the duration of ventilation. [ccforum.biomedcentral.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological studies have shown parallels in the consumption of pholcodine, a nonprescription antitussive drug which contains a tertiary ammonium ion, and the incidence of NMBA anaphylaxis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Summary Epidemiology The prevalence of BChE deficiency is highest in the Caucasian population with between 3.4 and 4% of the population displaying a partial enzyme deficiency leading to slightly prolonged apnoea (between 5 minutes and 1 hour) and 1 in [orpha.net]

Prevention
Facilitate mechanical intubation by preventing resistance to passing of the endotracheal tube. [nurseslabs.com]
To prevent movement When given to prevent movement, NMBAs are used in patients with tetanus, shivering from therapeutic hypothermia, or certain surgical procedures if movement would affect the anastamosis. [pharmacyjoe.com]
During surgery, it is important to recognize that these agents prevent muscle movement but do not block the sensation of pain. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
However, the high costs of sugammadex have so far prevented its introduction as the standard reversal agent in most healthcare systems. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
