COMPARISON BETWEEN ROCURONIUM BROMIDE & SUCCINYLCHOLINE IN INTUBATING CONDITION

Dr. Sukriti Atram, Dr Urmila Kesari

Abstract :

Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the quality of intubation of conditions.To evaluate the onset and duration of action . To evaluate heamodynamic changes and to assess the side effects and complication, if any of intubating doses

Material & methods: The present study was carried out on ﬁfty patients who were randomly allocated into two groups. Group I Those receiving Rocuronium omide for intubation, in a dose of 0.6 mg/kg. Group II Those receiving Succinylcholine for intubation, in a dose of 1.5 mg/kg.

Results: : Intubation time did not differ between suxamethonium (9.8�2.2 s) (mean�SD) and rocuronium (10.5�2.9 s), respectively. Intubating conditions were clinically acceptable (good or excellent) in all patients given suxamethonium and in 96% of the patients given rocuronium. However, the condition of the vocal cords was better (P<0.05) and diaphragmatic response to intubation was less pronounced with suxamethonium (P<0.05). Changes in heart rate and arterial blood pressure were similar in both groups. (P<0.05)

Conclusion :Rocuronium omide at a dose of 0.6 mg/kg provides intubating conditions similar to succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg at 1 minute. Therefore rocuronium is a suitable alternative to suxamethonium for intubation in elective, otherwise healthy patients with less side effects
