Abstract Context: Cisatracurium is a cis isomer of parent compound atracurium, devoid of histamine release, thus possessing hemodynamic & cardiovascular stability. Aims: We compared the intubating conditions, hemodynamic stability & recovery of atracurium & vecuronium. Settings and Design: We carried out prospective, double blind randomized study after approval of ethical committee. 100 adult patients of ASA 1 &2with comparable demographicdatawereselected.

Read Full License Page 1/10 Abstract Objective: To investigate the residual effects of cis-atracurium with different administrations in patients with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Methods: 60 patients undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups with 30 cases in each group. All patients were induced with sufentanil 0.4ug/kg, propofol 2.0mg/kg and cis atracurium 0.2mg/kg. During the operation, sevourane and remifentanil were used to maintain anesthesia. BIS value was 45-55. The control group intermittently received cis-atracurium injection with 0.1mg/kg/h. The experimental group received continuous injection of cis-atracurium at a rate of 1.5ug/kg/min. Cis-atracurium was discontinued 30min before the end of the operation, sevourane inhalation was stopped 20min before the end of the surgery and remifentanil was discontinued 10min before the end. At the end of the operation, no muscle relaxant antagonism were applied. General information of patients was recorded.

  • Comparative Study of Atracurium and Cisatracurium for Intubating Conditions Under General Anaesthesia
    IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) e-ISSN: 2279-0853, p-ISSN: 2279-0861.Volume 19, Issue 2 Ser.17 (February. 2020), PP 52-56 www.iosrjournals.org Comparative study of Atracurium and cisatracurium for intubating conditions under general anaesthesia 1 2 Dr. Mitali KhobragadeN , Dr Rajashri B. Sonwane Senior resident Department of Anaesthesiology Government medical College Aurangabad Associate Professor Department of Anaesthesiology Government Medical College Aurangabad Corresponding author: Dr Rajashri B Sonwane Abstract: Introduction: Good intubating conditions minimizes the risk of trauma associated with tracheal intubation. Atracurium and cisatracurium, non depolarising muscle relaxant can be used to facilitate intubation. Aims and Objectives:To compare the intubating conditions of atracurium and cisatracurium Material and Methods: 60 patients randomized into 2 groups of 30 each.Group A received inj atracurium 0.5mg/kg and Group B received cisatracurium 0.15mg/kg for intubation . Laryngoscopic grading, number of intubation attempts, time taken for intubation, haemodynamic parameters and signs of histamine release were observed. Results: In 50% patients of Group A & 100% patients in Group B the laryngoscopic grading was I i.e. excellent & 50% in Group A laryngoscopic grading was grade II i.e. good. All patients in both groups intubated in first atempt .Time taken for intubation was statistically significant (Group A 58.33-+5.4 secs ,Group B 42.40+ 10.70 secs,P<0.005),. Haemodynamic parameters were comparable in both
