The effect of orally administered metoprolol on the frequency and severity of rocuronium injection pain

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of orally administered metoprolol on frequency and severity pain caused by rocuronium injection in patients who started use were currently using oral for any reason such as ischemic heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmias. Methods: Patients evaluated four groups. Group M: did not receive lidocaine before application rocuronium. ML: received application. L: C: Following induction general anesthesia with thiopental sodium, a researcher blind groups observed during based following scale: (1) no reaction, (2) movement only ankle, (3) or withdrawal arm (shoulder ankle), (4) diffuse reaction (movement more than one extremity, coughing holding breath). Results: Two hundred 50 each included. The incidence was statistically significantly lower ML compared Groups M C (p = 0.001). correlations between duration usage time since last dose significant (for all, p > 0.05). Conclusions: Oral combined reduced reflex injection. No difference usage.
