  • Surgery
CONT

By altering the rate of infusion, different degrees of muscular relaxation can be provided as required. A more rapid flow may be needed, for example, for opening the peritoneum, during the initial explorations or at the time of wound closure than when the actual procedure is under way and packs and retractors are in place.

DEF

Relaxation musculaire obtenue avant une opération par l'administration de médicaments.

CONT

En modifiant le rythme de la perfusion, on obtient au besoin divers degrés de myo-résolution. Un débit plus rapide peut être nécessaire pour une laparotomie, durant une première exploration ou encore lorsqu'il faut fermer une plaie; un débit plus lent suffit lorsque l'intervention est en cours et que les rétracteurs et les tampons sont en place.
