Cisatracurium Pharmacodynamics in Patients with Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The pharmacodynamics of muscle relaxants in patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) have never been studied. We designed this study to compare the pharmacodynamics of cisatracurium in OPMD patients versus a control group. Forty patients were enrolled: 20 OPMD patients requiring general anesthesia for cricopharyngeal myotomy and 20 age-matched controls undergoing an operation of similar duration and expected blood loss. Anesthesia was standardized, and both groups received a bolus of cisatracurium 0.1 mg/kg. Onset time, time to 10% T1 recovery, and the intervals 10%-25% and 25%-75% were calculated for both groups. A subgroup analysis was performed in patients with a more severe form of OPMD. Demographic and intraoperative data were similar. Onset time was significantly longer in OPMD patients compared with the control group (4.6 +/- 1.5 min versus 3.4 +/- 1.0 min; P = 0.001). There was no difference in recovery times or indices between groups, regardless of the severity of the disease. In conclusion, there was no difference in the duration of a cisatracurium-induced neuromuscular block between OPMD patients and a control group. A delayed onset of action of the drug may occur.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
