Vitamin B3 Aids Anesthesia Recovery
Clinical Study Title:
Nicorandil accelerates recovery of neuromuscular block caused by
vecuronium.
| Plain
English Summary: |
Often
during the use of various anesthetizations, a neuromuscular
block can occur. This study examined the effect of
niacin on that blockage. Participants were placed
either into a nicorandil group or a control group.
The drug was administered along with the anesthesia.
The block itself was not affected by the niacin, but
the recovery from the neuromuscular block was significantly
faster in the groups who received the nicorandil treatments.
This supports the theory that nicorandil can aid in
neuromuscular block recovery associated with anesthesia.
