Brief Summary  

Conventionally balanced anesthesia involves the use of inhalational agents and non depolarizing agents.  Isoflurane is added to nitrous oxide at 66% to act as carrier gas. However as nitrous oxide can cause distension of bowel due to its low solubility, the use of air with oxygen and isoflurane has become common particularly in abdominal and laparoscopic surgeries. When nitrous oxide is replaced by air, the percentage of isoflurane is kept higher to ensure adequate depth of anesthesia. Inhalational agents have variable effect on muscle relaxants and by themselves are also known to have an effect on neuromuscular junction. Nitrous oxide also is known to potentiate neuromuscular blockers . With  varied mixture of gases and isoflurane used in general anaesthesia ,the exact dosing requirement and time duration of action has not been precisely studied with vecuronium when given as bolus as is given routinely. Hence this study is undertaken to evaluate and compare  the neuromuscular effect of vecuronium  during  anaesthesia with oxygen, nitrous oxide (O2:N2O)  and isoflurane and oxygen,air (O2:air) and isoflurane.

Quantifying the character of the block by neuromuscular monitoring by measuring single twitch, post tetanic count (PTC), and train of four (TOF) can give precision of the block and thereby better titration of drugs.

Research hypothesis (es):

The character of  neuromuscular block with vecuronium will be same with nitrous oxide and without nitrous oxide,when  used with isoflurane.
