Thiopental or etomidate for rapid sequence induction with rocuronium.
We have assessed the effect of the choice of i.v. induction agent on intubation conditions, 60 s after administration of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg-1. We studied 60 adult patients, allocated randomly to one of two groups. Anaesthesia was induced with alfentanil 10 micrograms kg-1 followed by thiopental 5 mg kg-1 (AT-R group; n = 30) or etomidate 0.3 mg kg-1 (AE-R group; n = 30). Both groups received ...
متن کاملRapid sequence induction: suxamethonium or rocuronium?
Drs Cadamy and Booth condemn the use of rocuronium at rapid sequence induction (RSI) and advocate a propo-fol/alfentanil regimen as an alternative to thiopentone/suxamethonium (Anaesthesia 1999; 54: 817). Although a number of studies involving healthy subjects have shown that tracheal intubation can indeed be performed without neuromuscular block, there is no evidence that such propofol/opioid ...
متن کاملRocuronium versus succinylcholine for rapid sequence induction intubation.
BACKGROUND Patients requiring emergency endotracheal intubation often require a rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation technique to protect against aspiration or increased intracranial pressure, or to facilitate intubation. Succinylcholine is the most commonly used muscle relaxant because of its fast onset and short duration; unfortunately, it can have serious side effects. Rocuronium has be...
متن کاملRocuronium for Rapid Sequence Induction in Elective Caesarean Section
Background: Rocuronium with its rapid onset of action is one of the most commonly used safe and effective muscle relaxants for intubation and maintenance of muscle relaxation during surgical procedures. Objective: To demonstrate the safety and efficiency of rocuronium for rapid sequence induction in caesarean section. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 75 pregnant wo...
متن کاملRapid sequence induction and intubation with rocuronium-sugammadex compared with succinylcholine: a randomized trial.
BACKGROUND An unanticipated difficult airway may arise during rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII). The aim of the trial was to assess how rapidly spontaneous ventilation could be re-established after RSII. We hypothesized that the time period from tracheal intubation to spontaneous ventilation would be shorter with rocuronium-sugammadex than with succinylcholine. METHODS This rando...
