%X UNASSIGNED: The present study was conducted to determine the optimal dose of cisatracurium for intubating conditions and onset and offset of neuromuscular blockade. Data in Indian population are scarce, and hence, the present study was planned to evaluate different doses of cisatracurium.
UNASSIGNED: The prospective randomized double-blind study was conducted on 180 patients of either sex in the age group of 20-60 yrs., having physical status class I to III, scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia. After exclusion 154 patients were randomly divided into three groups comprising 52, 51, and 51, respectively, in Group A, Group B, and group C. They received 0.1 mgkg-1, 0.2 mgkg-1, and 0.3 mgkg-1 of cisatracurium, respectively, to facilitate endotracheal intubation. Time of onset, intubating conditions, hemodynamic parameters, signs of histamine release, and recovery time were noted.
UNASSIGNED: Mean time to onset was maximum in group A (4.37 ± 0.48 minutes) and minimum in group C (2.33 ± 0.43 minutes). Intubating conditions were found excellent in 88% patients in group. Change in HR was found to be non-significant at all time periods, but decrease in MAP was found between 2 and 10 minutes in group C. Duration of action was longest in group C.
UNASSIGNED: We conclude that cisatracurium in dose of 0.2 mgkg-1 and 0.3 mgkg-1 provides good-to-excellent intubating conditions within less than 3 minutes.
