Abstract
Following induction with alfentanil (20 mu g kg(-1)) and propofol (2.0 -2.5 mg kg(-1)), four groups of patients were given rocuronium to dete rmine conditions for rapid sequence intubation. Two groups received 0. 9 mg kg(-1) and two groups received 0.6 mg kg(-1). In one of each dose groups, intubation was attempted after 45 s and in the other after 60 s. Intubating conditions were scored on a four point scale but all we re rated as excellent or good. Almost all intubating conditions were e xcellent-in the 0.9 mg kg(-1) groups.
