Intubating conditions during rapid sequence induction with either rocuronium or suxamethonium in elderly patients. A randomised study
This reports a superiority trial comparing standardised doses of rocuronium and suxamethonium at 60 s for quality of intubating conditions in the rapid sequence context, and this in an elderly cohort. The findings showed no difference between the drugs concerning intubation outcomes, though the onset or time to peak effect was shorter for suxamethonium, again demonstrated in a cohort 80 years old or older.
