Probability of acceptable intubation conditions with low dose rocuronium during light sevoflurane anaesthesia in children

Abstract

Submaximal depression of muscle force with low dose rocuronium improves intubation conditions in children during light sevoflurane anaesthesia while allowing rapid recovery of neuromuscular function. However, when using low dose rocuronium neuromuscular monitoring may be helpful to detect children with inadequate response to the relaxant so as to avoid an unsuccessful intubation attempt.
