Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: This is a prospective randomized study done to compare the two drugs namely Rocuronium bromide and suxamethonium for tracheal intubation and further to evaluate whether Rocuronium bromide can be an acceptable alternative to suxamethonium. Objective: To compare the effect of Rocuronium bromide and suxamethonium. Methods:A prospective time bound study was designed in which 100 patients of ASA I& II undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia who are to be intubatedwere randomly allocated into two groups of 50 each. Group — I, n=50; who received Rocuronium bromide 0.6 mg/kg iv. Group — II, n=50; who received Suxamethonium 1.5 mg/kg iv. The parameters observed were, intubating conditions, duration of action; pulserate, systolic BP, diastolic BP, MAP, side effects. Results: Rocuronium in a dose of 0.6 mg/kg is a suitable alternative to suxamethonium in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg. Conclusions: This study concludes that rocuronium in a dose of 0.6 mg/kg is a suitable alternative to suxamethonium in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg.
