Effect of Rocuronium and Succinylcholine on intraocular pressure during intubation: An institution based comparative study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Anaesthetic management plays a very vital role in the successful outcome of surgeries anywhere, and the eye is no exception. Because of the comparatively small area of surgical field, and the anatomical isolation of the eye and its appendages, it is possible to carry out most surgeries in the eye under local anaesthesia. Aim: To compare the effects of Rocuronium and Succinylcholine on intraocular pressure during induction of anaesthesia and intubation in patients undergoing non-ophthalmic surgeries. Materials and Methods: 40 adult patients were included in this single blind, randomized, controlled study with the Rocuronium group (study group) who received Rocuronium at a dose of 0.6mg/kg and the Succinylcholine group (control group) who received Succinylcholine at dose of 2mg/kg. Statistical Analysis: The observations made were tabulated and analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Unpaired ‘t’ test was used to analyze the baseline clinical variables and patient characteristics. ‘Z’ test was applied to calculate the ratios regarding ASA grading and male and female number of cases. Paired `t’ test was used to analyze the intraocular pressure changes at different times. Conclusions: Succinylcholine can be replaced by Rocuronium in eye injuries or in conditions where a rise in intraocular pressure can be deleterious to the patient.
