Aim of work: This study is to compare the effect of continuous infusion of rocuronium versus bolus doses on quality of recovery in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries. Patients & Methods: The study was carried out on 40 adult patients in Zagazig University Hospital within 6 months. Results: The group C displayed better in parameters of Qor-40 (physical independence, emotional state, physical comfort, pain, psychological support) and group C also better in hemodynamic parameters (heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure) and time of recovery.
Conclusions: The continuous infusion of rocuronium is better than bolus doses of rocuronium group in recovery status in patients with abdominal surgeries within 2 hours.
