Influence of gender on the course of neuromuscular block following a single bolus dose of cisatracurium or rocuronium

Abstract: Females were more sensitive than males to a single bolus dose of rocuronium. Under the study conditions described, the onset time was shorter and the clinical duration was increased in female patients. This suggests that the routine dose of rocuronium should be reduced in females compared to males. On the contrary, we could demonstrate no gender differences in the onset time or clinical duration of cisatracurium.

“…The drug dose is usually calculated according to patient body weight. However, the effect of a number of anesthetic agents, including aminosteroidal NMBAs, can be influenced by a large number of other factors including gender 4,5 and age [6][7][8] . The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacodynamics (PD) of the rocuronium, following a single dose (0.6 mg kg -1 ) in young and older males and females during total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA).…”
