Abstract:

Background: Succinylcholine is the most anesthetic drug used to muscle relaxation in emergency endotracheal intubation. Unfortunately it can have serious side effects. The perpose of our study was to comparison of Atracurium + Alfentanyl with succycholine. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, one hundred patient randomly designated two group succinylcholine (control group) & Atracurium + Alfentanyl (experimental) after injecting of thiopental as a Alternative Method for R.S.I we can assess the difference between this two groups, with regarding to condition of intubations such as jaw relaxation, vocal cord movement and bucking. Findings: Results showed that 38% of patient had mild bucking in Atr + Alf group but all patients in succylin group were not seen (p<0.0001). Vocal cord movements was seen in expelinental group but there wasn’t in control group. Conclusion: According to results, use of Atra + Alfen method can replace the standard method (succinylcholine) for contraindicated condition. Mild vocal cord movement and mild bucking in the Atracurium + Alfentanyl can be control by that a increase in Atracurium dose.

Succinylcholine "the gold standard" for rapid-sequence induction of anesthesia.

The neuromuscular effects of succinylcholine (SCh) were described1 by Bovet 1949. The drug was introduced into clinical anesthesia in the United States by Foldes et al 1952, who stated that “the advantages of succinylcholine as a muscular relaxant in anesthesiology far outweighed its disadvantages”2. Even today in the 6th decade of its use, SCh, despite complications, survived as the “gold stan...

Rocuronium versus succinylcholine for rapid sequence induction intubation.

BACKGROUND Patients requiring emergency endotracheal intubation often require a rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation technique to protect against aspiration or increased intracranial pressure, or to facilitate intubation. Succinylcholine is the most commonly used muscle relaxant because of its fast onset and short duration; unfortunately, it can have serious side effects. Rocuronium has be...

Rapid sequence induction and intubation with rocuronium-sugammadex compared with succinylcholine: a randomized trial.

BACKGROUND An unanticipated difficult airway may arise during rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII). The aim of the trial was to assess how rapidly spontaneous ventilation could be re-established after RSII. We hypothesized that the time period from tracheal intubation to spontaneous ventilation would be shorter with rocuronium-sugammadex than with succinylcholine. METHODS This rando...

Effectiveness of atracurium in preventing succinylcholine myalgia.

A comparison was made of the incidence of postoperative myalgia (POM) and fasciculations when atracurium (ATR) or d-Tubocurarine (DTC) was given prior to succinylcholine (SDC) for facilitation of tracheal intubation. The subjects were 44 ASA physical status I or II outpatient females undergoing laparoscopy. They were assigned to one of three groups: Group 1 received 0.025 mg/kg ATR; Group 2 rec...

Shortening the onset time of atracurium for rapid tracheal intubation.

The 'Priming principle' applied to non-depolarizing muscle relaxant atracurium was studied in 60 patients. This was a double blind study. The conditions observed for intubation were graded and the efficacy of priming dose of atracurium for shortening the onset time of intubation was studied. The patients were of ASA classification I and II and received standard premedication. The purpose of the...

Desaturation following rapid sequence induction using succinylcholine vs. rocuronium in overweight patients.

BACKGROUND Rapid sequence induction may be associated with hypoxemia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible difference in desaturation during rapid sequence induction in overweight patients using either succinylcholine or rocuronium. METHODS Sixty patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 30 kg/m², American Society of Anesthesiologists class I or II, undergoing ...
