  • Title: Evaluation of the effects of rocuronium bromide on haemodynamics and left ventricular function in patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery.
    Author: Cornet JP, Abiad M, Coriat P, Saada M, Gosgnach ML, Viars P.
    Journal: Eur J Anaesthesiol Suppl; 1994; 9():78-81. PubMed ID: 7925214.
    Abstract:
    In an open study of 26 patients undergoing abdominal aortic surgery, the effects of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1 (eight patients) and 0.9 mg kg-1 (nine patients) were compared with those of pancuronium 0.085 mg kg-1 (eight patients) on haemodynamic parameters and transoesophageal echocardiography. The anaesthetic technique was based on a benzodiazepine and low dose fentanyl (6 micrograms kg-1). Pancuronium was associated with a significant increase in mean arterial pressure, end-diastolic area and heart rate, none of which were seen after rocuronium at either dose level.
