Comparison between low-dose and high-dose rocuronium use in general anesthesia for Cesarean section

o demographic differences were observed between the two groups. Additionally, no significant differences were found in intubation ease, time from rocuronium administration to skin incision, cord clamping, TOF ratio > 0.9, eye opening, extubation, PACU stay time, 1 min and 5 min Apgar score and venous blood gas analysis of the blood from the umbilical vein between both groups. However, the time from rocuronium administration to T3 disappearance was shorter in H group than in C group (p=0.009). The time from rocuronium administration to T1 and T2 reappearance were longer in H group than in C group (p=0.003, 0.009). The administered remifentanil dose was higher in H group (p=0.042), and the rocuronium concentrations in both maternal vein immediately before cord clamping and after the Aldrete score reached 9 and umbilical vein immediately after cord clamping were higher in H group than in C group (p=0.004, 0.002, and <0.001).
