Clinical profile comparison of cisatracurium and rocuronium in elective surgery

A comparison of the clinical duration and recovery characteristics of cisatracurium after priming using rocuronium or cisatracurium: preliminary study

BACKGROUND The priming technique can speed up the onset of cisatracurium during intubation. However, there have been no reports on the effect of the priming technique on duration or recovery profile of cisatracurium. Therefore, we attempted to determine whether or not a priming technique with rocuronium or cisatracurium can affect clinical duration or recovery profiles of cisatracurium. METHO...

Neuromuscular Block during Beating Heart Surgery, Comparison between Pancuronium, Rocuronium, and Cisatracurium

comparison between the effects of rocuronium, vecuronium, and cisatracurium using train-of-four and clinical tests in elderly patients

background postoperative residual blockade, longer duration of action for neuromuscular blockade, and slower recovery were relatively common in elderly patients. objectives we aimed to investigate the safety of train-of-four ratio and clinical tests in the assessment of patient recovery, and to determine the effects of the rocuronium, vecuronium, and cisatracurium on intubation, extubation and ...

Comparison between the Effects of Rocuronium, Vecuronium, and Cisatracurium Using Train-of-Four and Clinical Tests in Elderly Patients

BACKGROUND Postoperative residual blockade, longer duration of action for neuromuscular blockade, and slower recovery were relatively common in elderly patients. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the safety of train-of-four ratio and clinical tests in the assessment of patient recovery, and to determine the effects of the rocuronium, vecuronium, and cisatracurium on intubation, extubation an...

Effects of Combined Rocuronium and Cisatracurium in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery can cause spontaneous respiration due to diaphragmatic stimulation and intra-abdominal CO2 inflation. Therefore, sufficient muscle relaxation is necessary for a safe surgical environment. METHODS We investigated if the combination of rocuronium and cisatracurium can counteract the delayed onset of cisatracurium's action and delayed recovery of m...
