Comparative Study of Rocuronium Bromide and Succinylcholine Regarding Ease of Intubating Conditions and Hemodynamic Parameters for Rapid Sequence Intubation in Adults
Abstract: Background: Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is an airway management procedure designed to quickly secure the airway while reducing the likelihood of gastric aspiration during anesthesia induction. For many years, Succinylcholine has been regarded as the preferred neuromuscular blocking agent for RSI because it produces muscle relaxation rapidly and has a relatively brief duration of action. However, its adverse effect profile – including hyperkalemia, bradyarrhythmias, malignant hyperthermia, and increased intracranial and …
