Neuromuscular Blocking Agents (NMBAs): An Overview


Abstract 

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are commonly used to paralyze skeletal muscles during surgery conducted under general anesthesia and for patients requiring in tubation for airway management. These medications are used in emergency departments, intensive care units, interventional radiology areas, and even medical and surgical units. NMBAs render patients unable to move or breathe and are considered high-alert drugs because misuse can lead to catastrophic injuries or death, especially when administered to patients who are not properly ventilated. Between June 2004 and March 2009, Pennsylvania healthcare facilities submitted 154 event reports that mentioned medication errors involving the use of NMBAs

A Validated specific Stability-indicating RP-HPLC method for Aripiprazole and its related substances

Image
ABSTRACT : A validated specific stability indicating reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method was developed for the quantitative determination of Aripiprazole and its related substances in bulk samples, pharmaceutical dosage forms in presence of degradation products. Forced degradation studies were performed on bulk sample of Aripiprazole as per ICH prescribed stress conditions using acid, base, oxidative, thermal stress and photolytic degradation to show the stability indicating power of the method. Significant degradation was observed during basic stress and no degradation was observed in other stress conditions. The chromatographic method was optimized using the samples generated from forced degradation studies and the impurity spiked with Aripiprazole. Good resolution between the peaks corresponds to impuritiy-1, degradation products from the analyte were achieved on YMC PACK C18 column using the mobile phase consists a mixture of Sodium dihydrogen Orthophosphate dehydra...
