The aim is to investigate and compare the anesthesia effect of cisatracurium besylate and mivacurium chloride otolaryngology surgery. 108 patients who underwent ENT surgery under general anesthesia in our hospital from November 2021 to March 2022 were recruited for retrospective analysis, in which patients in the experimental group A were anesthetized with cisatracurium besylate and patients in the experimental group B were anesthetized with mivacurium, and the anesthetic effects and recovery of the two groups were compared and analyzed. There was no significant difference in mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and pulse oximetry levels between the two groups at the six time points of admission, anesthesia induction, intubation, end of operation, recovery of consciousness, and extubation (all P > 0.05). The train of four stimulation values at end of operation, recovery of consciousness, and extubation were significantly higher than those of the experimental group A (all P > 0.05). The recovery time of self-consciousness, extubation time, and eye-opening time of the experimental group B were significantly shorter than those of the experimental group A, and the occurrence of agitation was significantly less than that of the experimental group A (all P > 0.05). The total incidence of adverse conditions in the experimental group B was significantly lower than that in the experimental group A (P > 0.05). Compared with cisatracurium besylate in otolaryngology surgery, mivacurium chloride anesthesia offers a promising route with respect to less impact on hemodynamics, faster postoperative recovery, absence of the accumulation of neuromuscular blockade, less adverse reactions, and higher safety.
