Prospective Cohort Study Comparing Varying Doses of Cisatracurium and Atracurium on Intubating Conditions in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Introduction: Cisatracurium and atracurium are nondepolarising muscle relaxants belonging to benzylisoquinolinium group. Intubating dose of cisatracurium is found to be safer than atracurium owing to the histamine release and resultant respiratory and
