PHARMACOLOGY
_PHARMACODYNAMICS _
Cisatracurium besylate, a stereoisomer of atracurium, is an
intermediate duration, non-
depolarising benzylisoquinolinium skeletal muscle relaxant.
Cisatracurium besylate binds
to cholinergic receptors on the motor end-plate to antagonise the
action of acetylcholine,
resulting in a competitive block of neuromuscular transmission. This
action is readily
reversed by anticholinesterase agents such as neostigmine.

The ED
95
(dose required to produce 95% depression of the twitch response of the
adductor pollicis muscle to stimulation of the ulnar nerve) of
cisatracurium besylate is
estimated to be 0.05 mg/kg bodyweight during opioid anaesthesia
(thiopentone, fentanyl,
midazolam). The recommended intubation dose for cisatracurium in
adults is 3 x ED
95
,
which has a longer clinically effective duration than the recommended
intubation dose of
atracurium (2 x ED
95
) (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
The ED
95
of cisatracurium besylate in children during halothane anaesthesia is
0.04
mg/kg bodyweight.
