Abstract | UNLABELLED: MATERIAL AND METHOD: RESULTS: There was no difference in the demographic data of the 2 groups--13 males/10 females in the S group and 11 males/12 females in the C group. Eighty-seven per cent in the S group underwent living-related kidney transplantation operation, with 55.56 per cent in the C group. Most of the donors were siblings, i.e. 42.11 per cent in the S group and 46.67 per cent in the C group. The mean dosage for intubation in the S group was 0.17 +/- 0.02 mg/kg and 1.25 +/- 0.49 microg/kg/min for maintenance. The mean dosage for intubation in the C group was 0.64 +/- 0.07 mg/kg and the mean maintenance dose was 5.38 +/- 0.83 microg/kg/min. In both groups there was no statistical difference in hemodynamic changes. One patient in the S group received calcium channel blocker to reduce blood pressure before induction of anesthesia, while 2 patients in the C group were given nifedipine 5 mg before induction. Although the cisatracurium cost was higher than atracurium, from the cost-minimization analysis, it turned out to be lower per case. CONCLUSION:
