The effect of Atracurium on the pulse rate during rapid tracheal intubation

Abstract

The atracurium dibesilate is intermediate muscle relaxant and has a little effect on heart rate .The aim of this is project is to study the effect of atracurium dibesilate on the pulse rate during rapid tracheal intubation . Materials and method: 25 cases ASA I (American society of anesthesiology .class I) , different surgeries , the same anesthesia technique ,both sexes in AlSader teaching hospital .
Result and discussion: from this study we show reading of pulse rate during three situation (pre-induction – and maintenance of anesthesia) with atracurium dibesilate during rapid tracheal intubation we notice there is not significant changes in pulse rate.Conclusion:from this project we conclude that atracurium associated with little increase in heart rate so it is preferable to be used in patients with heart diseases and elderly patients.
