[Safety and quality of myoplegia in different types of abdominal surgeries]

The efficiency of new non-depolarized myorelaxants, i.e. of rocuronium and cisatracurium, in abdominal surgery with general anesthesia (combined or total intravenous anesthesia) of 114 patients was evaluated clinically and accelerometrically. The use of the above drugs at 2 x ED95 was confirmed to ensure a high-quality myorelaxation in different surgery variations (laparoscopy or laparotomy). A lack of effect on the hemodynamics (according to continuous non-invasive monitoring) and release of histamine (according to radioimmunology assay) make it possible to use the myorelaxants in patients with concurrent cardiovascular disease and with burdened allergic history. A bigger degree of prognosticated effect duration is typical of cisatracurium versus rocuronium, whereas the latter is a myorelaxant of choice in case a fast trachea intubation is needed.
