Nondepolarizing shortly acting myorelaxant tracrium (0.5 mg/kg) during surgical interventions in children makes it possible to perform tracheal intubation 1.5 min later and to maintain optimal myoplegia at various stages of the operation by bolus injections in doses making up 1/2-1/3 of the initial one or by non-stop infusion at a rate of 0.008 mg/kg per min. Tracrium may be used among with arduan administered at the end of the operation. Tracrium administration is accompanied by the recovery of adequate respiration 25-30 min after discontinuation of administration. Tracrium has no unfavorable effect on hemodynamics and ensures retention of the myocardial reserve capacities.
