Abstract

Background:Endotracheal intubation is an integral part of the administration of general anesthesia during the surgery. Neuromuscular blocking agents facilitate general anaesthesia. cisatracurium having lack of histamine release, which provides better cardiovascular stability in comparison to atracurium. To compare of atracurium and cisatracurium onset time, intubation conditions, hemodynamics and duration of block. Materials and Methods: The present study was a prospective randomize, conducted in the Department of Anaesthesia, Pacific medical college and hospital Udaipur, Rajasthan. Total 70 ASA Grade I/II patients in the age group of 18-60 years posted for elective surgery required general anesthesia were selected in this study. Patients were divided into two groups of 35 each. Group A patients received atacurium 0.5 mg/kg as loading dose while Group B cisatracurium 0.2mg/kg, The onset time,intubating conditions hemodynamic parameters and duration of action were noted. Results: Cisatracurium have rapid onset (p<0.001) and long duration of action (p<0.001) and stable mean arterial pressure (p<0.001) and better intubating conditions (p=0.04.).
