Rocuronium vs Cis-atracurium: Do Rocuronium Still 'ROCKS' In Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting - A Retrospective Cohort Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The current trend in most cardiac surgeries was to use rocuronium as it provides faster recovery in train-of-four ratio compared to other aminosteroid non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker. However, as most cardiac centres' standard of care does not perform any neuromuscular monitoring nor antagonism of neuromuscular blockade effect, residual neuromuscular blockade could potentially be the key to delayed extubation. As such, Cis-atracurium's organ-independent Hofmann elimination could be in favour.
