  4. at what age does neonatal protein levels equal adult levels?
A
  1. Albumin and Alpha-acid glycoprotein (AAG)
  2. blood proteins found in smaller concentrations in neonates than adults

     10 mcg/kg
28
Q

NDMRs in Pediatrics:

  1. how does the dose differ between adults and peds?
  2. how is this possible if children have an ↑Vd?
  3. how does duration of action differ between adults and peds?
  4. what should ALWAYS be used/done with any NDMR use?
A
  1. It DOESN’T; Dose same on mg/kg basis as adults
  2. children have an ↑ Vd, but also immature neuromuscluar junction (sensitive to NDMR). These balance each other and is why the dose is the same as adult dosing
  3. Duration of action may be slightly longer in peds
  4. Always use nerve stimulator with NDMR and titrate to effect
29
Q

what are the pediatric (and adult) doses for:

  1. Vec
  2. Pan
  3. Cisatra
  4. Roc
A
