TRAIN OF FOUR STIMULATION WITH 0.6 Mg/Kg ROCURONIUM FOR INTUBATING STATE

Abstract

Background: When using neuromuscular blocking drugs, it is advised to employ TO (train of four) stimulation. 
The assessment of intubating state using a train of four and 0.6mg/kg rocuronium is limited in the literature. 
Aims: The current study was conducted to estimate the proportion of subjects with excellent intubating state using 
0.6mg/kg rocuronium and train of four at adductor pollicis longus at various time intervals, immediately and 24 
hours after extubation, time to reach T0 and T1, and time to achieve sore throat.
Methods: 212 patients were split into two groups: T0 and T1, in which the intubating condition was assessed after 
0.6mg/kg rocuronium and monitored by train of four. The acquired data was statistically evaluated using t-tests and 
Chi-square tests, with a significance threshold of p<0.05.
