Does suxamethonium administration prolong the duration of action of subsequent rocuronium?
Previous suxamethonium administration decreases the onset time and increases the duration of action of rocuronium. Unlike suxamethonium, rocuronium has few cardiovascular effects and causes little change in IOP.
The present study shows that a single intrarenal infusion of autologous EPCs preserved microvascular architecture and function and decreased microvascular remodeling in experimental chronic RAS. It is likely that restoration of the angiogenic cascade by autologous EPCs involved not only generation of new vessels but also acceleration of their maturation and stabilization. This contributed to preserving the blood supply, hemodynamics, and function of the RAS kidney, supporting EPCs as a promising therapeutic intervention for preserving the kidney in renovascular disease.
