OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to reduce the intensity of myoclonus movements by comparing the effectiveness of granisetron and sufentanil in reducing the intensity of etomidate-induced myoclonic movements. Etomidate-induced myoclonus occurs in up to 85% of patients under general anaesthesia. This type of myoclonus can induce significant clinical and economic problems in patients with special conditions.
METHODS: This double-blind randomised clinical trial study consisted of 96 adult patients recruited between January and July 2021 from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. Using block randomisation, subjects were divided into three groups of 32 patients: the group receiving granisetron 40 μg/kg (group G), the group receiving sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg (group S) and the control group who did not receive the pretreatment (group C). Patients received these medications as pretreatments 120 seconds before induction with etomidate. After the injection of etomidate with a dose of 0.3 mg/kg, the incidence of myoclonus was evaluated. After evaluating the myoclonus, the full dose of narcotics (fentanyl 1 μg/kg) and muscle relaxants (atracurium 0.5 mg/kg) were administered to patients and a suitable airway was established for them.
RESULTS: The findings indicated that granisetron reduced the intensity and incidence of myoclonic movements more than sufentanil. In addition, myoclonic movements were observed at a significantly higher intensity in the control group (P = 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The results obtained from the current study indicate that granisetron and sufentanil as pretreatments are effective for reducing myoclonus in patients.
