Intubation
1 vial= 10 cc (10 mg/cc) draw up 5 cc in a 5 cc syringe
RSI: 0.6-1.2mg/kg
Intubation: 0.45 - 0.6 mg/kg
Rocuronium/ Zemuron MOA
Non-depolarizer; acetylcholine receptor antagonist; inhibits depolarization
Rocuronium/ Zemuron onset and duration
onset: 6 minutes
duration: 30 minutes
Rocuronium/ Zemuron cautions
Histamine can cause anaphylaxis, caution in renal patients
Vecuronium/ Norcuron concentration; doses (RSI; intubation)
1 vial = 10 cc (1 mg/ cc) dilute powder in 10 cc NS, syringe = 10mg
RSI: 0.3 mg/kg
Intubation: 0.08-0.1 mg/kg
Vecuronium/ Norcuron MOA
Non-depolarizer; acetylcholine receptor antagonist
Vecuronium/ Norcuron onset and duration
Onset: 3-5 minutes
Duration: 20-60 minutes
Vecuronium/ Norcuron considerations
More predictable than roc, consider for longer cases
Succinylcholine/ Anectine concentration and doses
1 vial: 10cc (20 mg/cc) draw up 5 cc
RSI: 1-1.5 mg/kg
Intubation: 0.6mg/kg
Laryngospasm: 0.3mg/kg
Succinylcholine/ anectine MOA
Depolarizer, mimics acetylcholine on nicotinic acth receptors (mimics arch depolarizing at motor end plate)
Succinylcholine/ Anectine onset and duration
Onset: 30 seconds
Duration: 5 minutes
Succinylcholine/ Anectine cautions and CI
MH trigger Histamine release Hyperkalemia (expect 0.5 meq increases) Stroke etc. for extrajunctional receptors CI: MD, DMD, MS Resistant: MG; sensitive: in LEMS Caution in children
Midazolam/ Versed concentration and doses
1 vial: 2 cc (1mg/cc)
Pre-op: 0.02-0.04 mg/kg, usually about 2mg given in prep
Induction: 0.2-0.4 mg/kg
Midazolam/ Versed MOA
GABA receptor agonist; chloride influx occurs & cell becomes hyperpolarized
Midazolam/ Versed onset
<60 seconds
Midazolam/ Versed caution
Elderly & quick cases

Fentanyl/ Sublimaze concentration and doses
1 vial= 2 cc (50 mcg/cc)
1-2 mcg/kg or 25-100 mcg/dose
Fentanyl/ Sublimaze MOA
Mu opioid receptor agonist
Fentanyl/ Sublimaze onset and duration

Lidocaine/ Xylocaine concentration and dose
1 vial= 5 cc= 100 mg (20 mg/cc; 2%)
1-1.5 mg/kg
Lidocaine/ Xylocaine MOA
Class lb antiarrhythmic; membrane impermeable to NA+ and cell is unable to depolarize
