A pharmacokinetic-dynamic explanation of the rapid onset-offset of rapacuronium
The rapid onset and offset of rapacuronium can be explained from its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. A unique property of rapacuronium is its high value for k(e0), indicating a rapid access to the receptor site. The reason for this high k(e0) may be related to the low intrinsic potency of rapacuronium, but this is not yet fully clarified
