Registration Number
NCT05909696
Lead Sponsor
Yangzhou University
Brief Summary

Succinylcholine is an important component of rapid sequential induction of general anesthesia because of its rapid onset and short duration of action. However, myofibrillation is a common complication after succinylcholine injection and may lead to persistent postoperative myalgia, increased intraocular, intragastric and intracranial pressure in patients. Increased risk of peri-induction and postoperative patient discomfort. The effectiveness of rocuronium bromide pretreatment in reducing succinylcholine-induced myalgias has been demonstrated in several recent studies. However, the half effective amount of rocuronium pretreatment for small doses is not well known. Therefore, this study applied the Dixon sequential method to investigate the ED50 of preemptive intravenous rocuronium bromide for the prevention of succinylcholine-induced myofibrillation and to investigate the effect of age factor on the ED50 of rocuronium bromide for the prevention of succinylcholine-induced myofibrillation to provide a reference for the rational clinical selection of rocuronium bromide dose.

Age range of 18 to 44 years oldsrocuroniumAge range of 18 to 44 years olds The initial dose of rocuronium for pre-injection was set at 0.04mg/kg according to previous literature and preliminary test results. The dose of rocuronium was according to the patients' myofibrillation level. If there is no myofibrillation (negative reaction), the dose of rocuronium in the next patient will be reduced until the patient has myofibrillation. If there is myofibrillation (positive reaction), the dose of rocuronium will be increased in the next patient until the patient is no fibrillation.
