Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how administering either vecuronium bromide or preservative-free 2% plain lignocaine hydrochloride before succinylcholine affects the incidence of fasciculation and postoperative myalgia in elective surgery patients.
- A total of 110 patients were randomly divided into two groups to compare the effectiveness of the two prophylactic measures on muscle fasciculation and pain following surgery, with data collected and analyzed statistically.
- Results indicate that the vecuronium bromide group experienced a lower incidence of fasciculation and mild-to-moderate postoperative myalgia compared to the lignocaine group, highlighting vecuronium's potential benefits in managing these side effects.
Unlabelled: Postoperative pain is an expected and undesirable by-product of all surgical procedures. The provision of effective and safe postoperative pain management should be one of the top priorities of any healthcare, where surgical procedures are carried out. Major abdominal surgical operations require pain management services, regular pain assessment, and timely management of breakthrough pains in the postoperative period.
