Assessment of haemodynamic stability with intubating dose of intravenous rocuronium bromide versus vecuronium bromide in predominantly stenotic valvular cardiac surgery patients

Abstract: INTRODUCTIONValvular heart diseases are still common in developing countries like India due to prevalence of rheumatic fever in these countries. In India, rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is prevalent in the range of 5-7 per thousand in 5-15 year"s age group and there are about 1 million RHD cases in India.1 RHD is always associated with mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. In the purely or predominantly mitral stenotic heart surgeries, the principal haemodynamic goals are maintaining a … Show more

“…Regarding the use of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents (NMBA), one the most commonly used is rocuronium, a non-depolarizing agent with quick onset and intermediate duration [83]. Several authors have analyized the effects of rocuronium and other NMBA on hemodynamics, concluding that even tough it can potentially increase heart rate, it does not provoke any clear hemodynamic instability at intubation dosages [83]- [85], even in critically ill patients undergoing cardiac surgeries.…”
