1 Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of vecuronium in children receiving phenytoin or carbamazepine for chronic anticonvulsant therapy  S.G. Soriano, L.J. Sullivan, K Venkatakrishnan, D.J. Greenblatt, J.A.J. Martyn  British Journal of Anaesthesia  Volume 86, Issue 2, Pages (February 2001) DOI: /bja/ Copyright © 2001 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Vecuronium (a) and 3-desacetylvecuronium (b) plasma concentrations are plotted against time (semilogarithmic plot) after a single bolus dose of vecuronium 0.15 mg kg−1. Mean (sd) are plotted for each group. The metabolite 3-desacetylvecuronium could be detected within 5 min of the bolus of vecuronium. There were no significant differences between groups.

3 Fig 2 Plasma concentrations of vecuronium are plotted against degree of neuromuscular block. Mean values and the predicted curves are plotted for each group. There were no significant differences between the groups in the hysteresis in the concentration–effect curves.

4 Fig 3 Per cent recovery T1/T0 is plotted against time after a single dose of vecuronium 0.15 mg kg−1. Data are mean (sd) for all three groups. Recovery times for the phenytoin and carbamazepine groups were significantly different from control.

5 Fig 4 Plot of individual plasma α1-acid glycoprotein concentrations against recovery T1/T0. Pearson product–moment correlation coefficient analysis showed no significant relationship between the two variables.
