概要
アトラクリウムは、主に全身麻酔の補助として使用される、広く利用されている非脱分極性神経筋遮断薬です。外科手術、気管挿管、および人工呼吸を容易にするために、強力な骨格筋弛緩を提供します。
臨床上の重要なポイント:
- 臓器非依存性の消失: アトラクリウムはホフマン脱離およびエステル加水分解によって代謝されるため、重篤な腎疾患または肝疾患を有する患者にとって非常に有用です。
- 鎮痛・鎮静作用なし: 患者を麻痺させますが、鎮痛作用や意識消失作用は全くありません。単独の薬剤として使用してはなりません。
- 心血管系の安定性: 標準用量では、古い神経筋遮断薬と比較して心血管系への影響は最小限ですが、まれにヒスタミン遊離を引き起こすことがあります。
- 動物種による感受性: 馬では他の動物種よりも効力が高いことが知られています。
作用機序
Atracurium acts by competitively binding to nicotinic cholinergic receptors at the motor end-plate of the neuromuscular junction.
By occupying these receptors, it prevents acetylcholine (ACh) from binding → inhibits depolarization of the muscle cell membrane → results in flaccid paralysis of skeletal muscles.
Because it is a competitive antagonist, its effects can be reversed by increasing the concentration of ACh at the neuromuscular junction (e.g., by administering acetylcholinesterase inhibitors like neostigmine or edrophonium).
安全性・警告
禁忌
- Hypersensitivity to atracurium
- Relative contraindication: Myasthenia gravis
- Lack of ventilatory support (must have mechanical ventilation available)
有害事象
- Allergic reactions
- Inadequate or prolonged neuromuscular block
- Hypotension
- Vasodilation
- Bradycardia
- Tachycardia
- Dyspnea
- Bronchospasm
- Laryngospasm
- Rash
- Urticaria
- Injection site reaction
注意事項
CRITICAL WARNING: Atracurium has NO analgesic or sedative/anesthetic actions. Patients must be appropriately sedated/anesthetized and provided with analgesia.
- Ventilation: Positive pressure ventilation (preferably mechanical) is absolutely required when using this drug.
- Histamine Release: May rarely cause significant histamine release; use with caution in patients where this would be hazardous (e.g., severe cardiovascular disease, asthma).
- Myasthenia Gravis: Use with extreme caution, or not at all, in patients suffering from myasthenia gravis.
- Vagal Tone: Has minimal cardiac effects and will not counteract bradycardia or vagal stimulation induced by other anesthetic agents.

May speed the onset of action and enhance the neuromuscular blocking actions of atracurium. Do not give atracurium until succinylcholine effects have diminished.
監視
- Level of neuromuscular blockade (recommend use of a peripheral nerve stimulator to evaluate 'train of 4' twitches)
- Spontaneous ventilation and voluntary muscle movement (if nerve stimulator is unavailable)
- Cardiac rate and blood pressure
- Core body temperature and acid-base status (can affect drug metabolism)
薬物動態
吸収
After IV injection, maximal neuromuscular blockade generally occurs within 3-5 minutes. Duration of blockade generally persists for 20-35 minutes.
代謝
Metabolized by ester hydrolysis and Hofmann elimination that occur independently of renal or hepatic function. Physiologic pH and temperature can affect elimination (increased body temp enhances elimination; decreased pH enhances ester hydrolysis but reduces Hofmann elimination).
消失
Eliminated via Hofmann degradation and ester hydrolysis. Systemic alkalosis may diminish the degree and duration of blockade; acidosis potentiates it.
過剰投与
Overdosage increases the risks of hypotension, histamine release, and prolonged duration of muscle blockade. Overdose possibilities can be minimized by monitoring muscle twitch responses to peripheral nerve stimulation.
Treatment:
- Treat conservatively with mechanical ventilation, oxygen, and IV fluids.
- Reversal of blockade: May be accomplished by administering an anticholinesterase agent such as edrophonium (0.5 mg/kg IV) or neostigmine (0.02-0.04 mg/kg IV) combined with an anticholinergic (atropine or glycopyrrolate) to prevent severe bradycardia.
- Reversal is usually complete within 8-10 minutes. Because the duration of action of atracurium may be longer than the reversal agent, careful observation is required, and readministration of the reversal agent may be necessary.

Incompatible when mixed with alkaline drugs (e.g., barbiturates, sodium bicarbonate), propofol, diazepam, thiopental, aminophylline, cefazolin, heparin, ranitidine, and sodium nitroprusside.
飼主向け情報
この薬は、全身麻酔中や集中治療での人工呼吸器使用時に、獣医療の専門家のみが使用する非常に特殊な筋弛緩薬です。
- 眼科手術などの繊細な手術中にペットが完全に静止した状態を保つため、または重篤な状態の際に人工呼吸器の動きに合わせるために使用されます。
- 筋肉を弛緩させるだけで、痛みを取り除いたり眠らせたりする効果はないため、ペットが完全に意識を失い快適な状態であることを保証するために、必ず強力な鎮痛薬や鎮静薬、麻酔薬と一緒に投与されます。
