Cisatra (Cisatracurium Besylate injection) is a medication used during surgeries and in intensive care units (ICU). It is a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker, which means it relaxes the muscles without causing initial muscle contractions.<\/p>\n
In adults and children aged 1 month to 12 years, Cisatra is used alongside general anesthesia to make it easier to insert a breathing tube (tracheal intubation). It helps ensure that the airway stays open during surgery or other procedures requiring anesthesia.<\/p>\n
For adults and children aged 2 to 12 years, Cisatra also provides muscle relaxation during surgery. This is crucial for the surgeon to operate smoothly and safely. The therapeutic drug can be administered as a single dose (bolus) or as a continuous infusion to maintain muscle relaxation throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n
In the ICU, Cisatracurium Besylate injection is used for adults who need mechanical ventilation (breathing support). By relaxing the muscles, it helps the ventilator work more effectively, ensuring that the patient receives adequate breathing support.<\/p>\n
