• Status: Suspended
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Succinylcholine is commonly used for neuromuscular relaxation for short procedures such as rigid bronchoscopy. A more modern alternative is the application aof rocuronium, reversed by sugammadex.
