RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical effects and intubation condition of different doses of domestic cisatricurium(CA) in children. Methods Forty-five peadiatric patients aged 2 to 12 years old scheduled for selective surgery were randomized to three groups of 2 ED_(95) CA(0. 08 mg/kg), 3ED_(95) CA(0. 12 mg/kg) and 4ED_(95) CA(0. 16 mg/kg) (C_2, C_3, C_4 groups). Neuromuscular blockade was monitored with TOF-Guard. The conditions for trachea[intuDation were scored and the onset time, clinical duration, recovery index were recored. ResultsTracheal intubation was performed successfully in all patients. The conditions for tracheal intubation were scored greater 5 points in groups of C_3 and C_4 ,which was only 33. 3% of patients in group C_2. The onset time was shortened and the duration of action was prolonged as the dose of CA increased. But the recovery index of three groups were smilar. Conclusion An increase of CA dosage can shorten the onset time and prolong the duration of action and 3ED_(95) CA is suitable for tracheal intubation in children.
