Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialA comparative study of the dose-response and time course of recovery of atracurium and rocuronium.
To compare the characteristics of the dose-response relationship and the time course of action between atracurium and rocuronium in adult patients anesthetized with N2O-O2-fentanyl-thiopene. ⋯ Atracurium and rocuronium are low-potency nondepolarizing relaxants with intermediate duration. As compared to atracurium, the neuromuscular blocking effect of rocuronium was about 20% less potent and its duration of action was shorter.
