Abstract
The Primary objective was to compare the efficacy of intubating doses of rocuronium and cisatracurium in adults undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia with respect to their onset and duration of action. After taking written informed consent, 90 patients aged between 20 to 60 years belonging to ASA grade I and ASA grade II of either sex, undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia were included in the study. They were randomly divided into 3 groups of 30 patients each, who received one of the following muscle relaxant for intubation, Group A (n=30)‐Rocuronium 0.9mg/kg, Group B (n=30)‐Cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg, Group C (n=30)‐Cisatracurium 0.2 mg/kg. Time of onset of action was fastest in group A (100.33s) and slowest in group B (201.67s). Duration of action of single intubating dose was longest in group C (69.67 min) and shortest in group A (53.33 min).
