Sentence examples for degree of blockade from inspiring English sources

The degree of blockade is proportional to the number of presynaptic vesicles that release glutamate in response to stimulation (Rosenmund et al, 1993).

Notably, homogenization conditions (degree of blockade of phosphatases/proteases) determined the extent and pattern of proteolytic cleavage of LRRK2 (Supplementary Material, Fig. S8), thus highlighting the importance of well-controlled conditions in biochemical experiments regarding LRRK2.

Onset time of bolus dose of rocuronium bromide was 3.2 min; maximal degree of blockade was 80% in one patient and 100% in the remaining; and clinical duration was 24.2 min. Intubation conditions were excellent in six patients and good two ones.

Doses of cisatracurium should be higher than those used in current anesthetic practice for an adequate degree of neuromuscular blockade.

Lastly, agreement between subjective and objective means of assessing the degree of neuromuscular blockade has been little studied in ICU [15 17].

In summary, the doses of cisatracurium for ICU patients should be higher than those used in current anesthetic practice in order to achieve an adequate degree of neuromuscular blockade.

This could indeed explain the observation that in clinical practice, higher doses of cisatracurium are often needed for ICU patients to obtain a clinically acceptable degree of neuromuscular blockade (TOF = 0).

Our data suggest that neuromuscular monitoring should be used to ensure a satisfactory degree of neuromuscular blockade in ICU patients requiring deep neuromuscular relaxation (TOF = 0) for surgical procedures.

The encapsulation approach allows reversal of any degree of neuromuscular blockade because the dose of sugammadex can be adjusted to encapsulate sufficient neuromuscular blocking molecules to cause effective reversal.

The doses used in those publications were a bolus of 0.1 mg.kg-1 (2 × ED95) with an average rate of infusion of 2.6 mg.kg-1.min-1 (0.15 mg.kg-1.h-1) or 3.2 mg.kg-1.min-1 (0.19 mg.kg-1.h-1) as required to obtain a sufficient degree of neuromuscular blockade for mechanical ventilation [21, 22].

The degree of neuromuscular blockade was assessed every 20 seconds.
