개요

아트라쿠륨은 전신 마취의 보조제로 주로 사용되는 널리 활용되는 ​비탈분극성 신경근 차단제​입니다. 외과적 수술, 기관 내 삽관 및 기계적 환기를 용이하게 하기 위해 깊은 골격근 이완을 제공합니다.

​핵심 임상 정보:​

  • ​장기 독립적 배출:​ 아트라쿠륨은 호프만 제거(Hofmann elimination) 및 에스테르 가수분해를 통해 대사되므로 심각한 신장 또는 간 질환이 있는 환자에게 매우 유용합니다.
  • ​진통 또는 진정 효과 없음:​ 환자를 마비시키지만 통증 완화나 의식 소실을 전혀 제공하지 않습니다. 절대 단독 약물로 사용해서는 안 됩니다.
  • ​심혈관계 안정성:​ 표준 용량에서 기존의 신경근 차단제에 비해 심혈관계에 미치는 영향이 최소화되지만, 간혹 히스타민 방출을 유발할 수 있습니다.
  • ​종 특이적 민감성:​ 이 약물은 다른 종에 비해 말에서 특히 더 강력한 효능을 나타냅니다.

작용 기전

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).

안전성·주의사항

금기사항

  • Hypersensitivity to atracurium
  • Relative contraindication: Myasthenia gravis
  • Lack of ventilatory support (must have mechanical ventilation available)

부작용

  • Allergic reactions
  • Inadequate or prolonged neuromuscular block
  • Hypotension
  • Vasodilation
  • Bradycardia
  • Tachycardia
  • Dyspnea
  • Bronchospasm
  • Laryngospasm
  • Rash
  • Urticaria
  • Injection site reaction

주의

​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.

약물 상호작용

Aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g., gentamicin)

May enhance the neuromuscular blocking activity of atracurium

General anesthetics (enflurane, isoflurane, halothane, sevoflurane)

May enhance and prolong the neuromuscular blocking activity

Bacitracin, Polymyxin B (systemic)

May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity

Procainamide

May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity

Quinidine

May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity

Lithium

May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity

Magnesium salts

May enhance neuromuscular blocking activity

Anticonvulsants (Phenytoin, Carbamazepine)

Reported to decrease both the effects and duration of neuromuscular blockade

Other muscle relaxant drugs

May cause a synergistic or antagonistic effect

Succinylcholine

May speed the onset of action and enhance the neuromuscular blocking actions of atracurium. Do not give atracurium until succinylcholine effects have diminished.

모니터링

  • 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)

약동학

흡수

After IV injection, maximal neuromuscular blockade generally occurs within 3-5 minutes. Duration of blockade generally persists for 20-35 minutes.

대사

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).

배설

Eliminated via Hofmann degradation and ester hydrolysis. Systemic alkalosis may diminish the degree and duration of blockade; acidosis potentiates it.

과다투여

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.

보호자 정보

이 약물은 전신 마취나 중환자실의 기계적 환기 중에 수의학 전문가만이 사용하는 매우 특수한 근육 이완제입니다.

  • 안과 수술과 같은 섬세한 수술 중에 반려동물이 완전히 움직이지 않도록 하거나, 위독한 상태일 때 인공호흡기에 맞춰 호흡할 수 있도록 돕습니다.
  • 근육만 이완시킬 뿐 통증 완화나 수면 효과는 없기 때문에, 반려동물이 완전히 의식을 잃고 편안한 상태를 유지할 수 있도록 ​항상​ 강력한 진통제 및 진정제 또는 마취제와 함께 투여됩니다.
