Women report more pain on injection of a precurarization dose of rocuronium: A randomized, prospective, placebo‐controlled trial

Abstract

Women experienced more pain on injection of rocuronium than men, moreover this is an additional evidence for gender-related differences in pain perception. When rocuronium is used as a precurarization agent, an analgesic pretreatment (e.g. opioids) should be considered, especially for female patients.
