EC and EC of remifentanil to prevent rocuronium-induced withdrawal movements in children [PDF]
BackgroundIntravenous administration of rocuronium induces intense pain in most patients (60-100%). This could be harmful during anesthesia induction because of the unintended reflex movement of an unconscious patient in response to the pain.
