Muscle Relaxation for Short Procedures

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2012-03-01
• 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 of low-dose rocuronium, reversed by low-dose sugammadex. The investigators compare the intubating conditions, incidence of postoperative myalgia (POM), as well as patient satisfaction for these two muscle relaxants.
