The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of different doses of cis-atracurium on patients undergoing general anesthesia induction (GAI) during intracranial aneurysm surgery (ICAS). In this work, 90 patients who underwent ICAS under the elective motor-evoked potential (MEP) monitoring in the First Affiliated Hospital of Northwest University (Xi’an No. 1 Hospital) from January 2021 to May 2022 were enrolled as the research objects. Randomly, they were rolled into a S1 group (30 cases, 2 times 95% effective dose (ED95) cis-atracurium), a S2 group (30 cases, 3 times ED95 cis-atracurium), and a S3 group (30 cases, 4 times ED95 cis-atracurium). The endotracheal intubation conditions, the train-of-four (TOF) rate (TOFR), body movement, and spontaneous breathing were compared among the three groups of patients. The results showed that the MEP inhibition time of the patients in the S3 group was much longer than that of the S1 and S2 groups, but it showed no significant difference between the S1 group and S2 group ( P > 0.05 ). The good rates of endotracheal intubation conditions in the S2 group (100%) and S3 group (100%) were obviously higher than the rate in the S1 group (43.33%). The TOFRs of patients in S2 and S3 groups at time t2 and t3 were lower obviously to that at time t0, while the TOFRs of patients in S3 group at time t2 and t3 were still lower in contrast to the S2 group ( P < 0.05 ). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of patients in all groups were lower at t1, t2, and t3 than at t0 ( P < 0.05 ), while the differences among different groups were not remarkable ( P > 0.05 ). Finally, using 3 times ED95 cis-atracurium for GAI could reduce the risk of intraoperative body movement and spontaneous breathing, as well as the residual degree of muscle relaxation, in patients with ICAS, without affecting MEP monitoring, improving endotracheal intubation conditions, and increasing safety during open neurosurgery operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
