A Study of Comparison of Intubating Conditions and Haemodynamic Effects after the Administration of Succinylcholine and Rocuronium Bromide
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background and Aim: Though rocuronium has a rapid onset of neuromuscular blockade like succinylcholine without the latter's adverse effects, its use is limited due to its prolonged action. Present study was performed with an aim to compare the outcome of using Rocuronium and Succinylcholie as muscle relaxant (MR). Material and Methods: A single-center, prospective-randomized, blinded study of 60 patients, divided into 2 groups and intubation conditions were evaluated. Results: The intubating conditions were scored as excellent in 29 and 26, and Good intubating conditions were observed in 1 and 4 Patients of group I and 2 respectively. Conclusion: We conclude that rocuronium, an innovative nondepolarizing MR with a succinct onset of action and transitional duration, but lack of the unpleasant reactions connected with succinylcholine may be a appropriate alternative to succinylcholine for tracheal intubation.
