Abstract

Background: In general anaesthesia rapid and safe endotracheal intubation is critical. Aspiration of gastric content, during induction and intubation is a major risk factor which determines the outcome of anaesthesia. The ideal muscle relaxant is the one who produces faster onset of action; resultant in to reduction in the incidence of side effects. With this background present study was done to compare the effects of rocuronium and suxamethonium on intubating conditions.

Material and Methods: Total 90 ASA grade I and II patients who were scheduled to laparoscopic appendectomy under general anesthesia selected. These patients were randomly divided in to 3 groups consisting 30 patients in each. Group I (S60) patients received suxamethonium 2mg/kg with intubation attempted at 60 seconds and patients of groups II (R60) and III (R90) received rocuronium0.6 mg.kg, with intubation attempted at 60 seconds and rocuronium 0.6 mg.kg, with intubation attempted at 90 seconds respectively.

Results: The intubating conditions were acceptable in all the patients belonging to group I (S60) and group III (R90), while 04 patients in group II (R60) had unacceptable intubating conditions. Rocuronium found haemodynamically stable as suxamethonium.

Conclusion: Rocuronium provides acceptable intubating conditions as comparable with suxamethonium with no incidence of side effects or complications.
