Does Rocuronium Bromide provide comparable intubating conditions to Suxamethonium in patients undergoing general anaesthesia?
Rocuronium bromide 1 mg/kg can be used as an alternative to suxamethonium 1.5 mg/kg for endotracheal intubation in general anaesthesia when no airway difficulty is anticipated.
Mydhili et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in General anaesthesia for surgery (n=100). Rocuronium Bromide vs. Suxamethonium 1.5 mg/kg was evaluated on Intubating conditions at 60 and 90 seconds. Rocuronium bromide (1 mg/kg) produced comparable good to excellent intubating conditions at 60 and 90 seconds compared to suxamethonium (1.5 mg/kg) for endotracheal intubation.
