Re: Defasiculating Vecuronium

[UFGatorD@aol.com]

we are able to give .01 mg/kg or more likely give 1 mg, but in my experience 
you have to still wait for the onset just as if you were using vecuronium in 
the first place. therefore, i usually reserve it for pts who will be affected 
by the rise in serum potassium. we are looking to switch to another paralytic 
and do away with the defasiculating dose. hope this helps. fly safely!
