Introduction: Mivacurium is the shortest-acting nondepolarizing relaxant, used for brief procedures, such as those performed in the ambulatory setting. The recommended intubating dose of 0.2 mg/kg usually provides a clinically effective neuromuscular block for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and spontaneous recovery is 95% complete within about 25 to 30 minutes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
