Comparison of Onset, Duration of Action and Intubating Conditions of Three Dosages 0.3 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/kg, 0.9 mg/kg of Rocuronium Bromide
Abstract: Background The aim of this prospective, randomized, double blind study was to assess and compare the time of onset, duration of action and intubating conditions with three different doses of rocuronium bromide ( 0.3 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/kg, 0.9 mg/kg). Methods The anaesthesia was induced with sleeping dose of thiopentone sodium (till eyelash reflex lost) I. V. After 30sec, non-depolarizing muscle relaxant rocuronium bromide was administrated intravenously. Patients were randomly allocated to three groups according to dose of Rocuronium ( 0.3 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/kg and 0.9 mg/kg). Jaw relaxation, cord relaxation, motor response to intubation and overall intubating conditions were assessed. Results Excellent intubating conditions were seen in 0 %, 60 % and 85 % of the patients after 0.3 mg/kg, 0.6 mg/kg, 0.9 mg/kg of Rocuronium respectively P
