Intubating conditions during rapid sequence induction with either rocuronium or suxamethonium in elderly patients. A randomised study

open access: yesActa Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 69, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Background During rapid sequence induction, either rocuronium 1.0 mg kg−1 or suxamethonium 1.0 mg kg−1 can be administered to facilitate endotracheal intubation. We hypothezised that rocuronium provided a larger proportion of excellent intubating conditions compared to suxamethonium in elderly patients.
