Brief Summary

Atracurium and Cisatracurium are two non depolarizingNMB agents with intermediate duration of action belonging to benzylisoquinoliniumgroup.

Atracurium is metabolized by Hofmann degradation andalkaline ester hydrolysis in the plasma and elsewhere in the body. It isassociated with production of tertiary metabolite laudanosine which has slowrenal elimination and crosses blood brain barrier.

Atracurium is associated with dose as well as speed ofinjection dependent histamine release which presents as transient hypotension,tachycardia and facial flushing.

Cisatracurium is a purified form of one of the 10  stereoisomers of atracurium which isapproximately 3 times more potent than atracurium and unlike the parentcompound, is not associated with dose-dependent histamine release in humans.

Cisatracurium undergoes Hofmann elimination but nothydrolysis by plasma esterases. Laudanosine levels are much lower compared toatracurium

.

The primary objective of this study is to compare theonset of neuromuscular blockade and recovery from the first loading dosebetween the two non-depolarizing NMBD, cisatracurium and atracurium in adultpatients undergoing surgical procedures under general anaesthesia.

The secondary objective is to observe the haemodynamicstability and adverse effects in relation to both the NMBDs.
