      - Acceptable induction agents include Sodium pentathal 3-5 mg/kg, or propafol 1 – 2.5 mg/kg. Midazolam 0.1 – 0.2 mg/kg can be used as an alternative. - Succinycholine 1.5 mg/kg or Rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg should be used as the neuromuscular blocking agent. The patient should be sent for a stat uninfused CT Scan immediately following intubation.

      So the need for pressor agents and other interventions is more common in these patients. Though these effects are reduced to a certain extent by the anti-hypertensive medications, their varying effects on the cardiovascular system can cause some unwanted effects during the procedure [2]. If the anesthetist can predict these effects then the ...

      Vasopressin augments the effects of other vasopressor agents and is most commonly used for this mechanism at doses of 0.03 to 0.04 units/min (19). Vasopressin also targets V1 receptors in the vascular smooth muscle leading to vasoconstriction of peripheral arterial beds. Due to the cardiac ischemia associated with higher doses, vasopressin is ...
