Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Rocuronium is the best non-depolarizing relaxant to prevent succinylcholine fasciculations and myalgia.
To determine which non-depolarizing relaxant among d-tubocurarine, vecuronium, atracurium, mivacurium and rocuronium prevented muscular fasciculations and myalgia following succinylcholine. ⋯ Among the pretreatments tested, 0.06 mg.kg-1 rocuronium was the best to prevent muscular fasciculations following succinylcholine injection. In the population studied, pretreatment did not prevent postoperative myalgia. Succinylcholine 1.5 mg.kg-1 was more effective without a non-depolarizing pretreatment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Neuromuscular blocking effects of rocuronium during desflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane anaesthesia.
To determine the magnitude of the potentiation of rocuronium by desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane 1.5 MAC anaesthesia. ⋯ Interaction of rocuronium and volatile anaesthetics resulted in augmentation of the intensity of neuromuscular block but did not result in significant effects on duration of or recovery from the block.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Patient outcomes with positive pressure versus spontaneous ventilation in non-paralysed adults with the laryngeal mask.
To compare patient outcomes for positive pressure ventilation (PPV) and spontaneous ventilation (SV) in non-paralysed patients with the LMA using either isoflurane or sevoflurane anaesthesia. ⋯ Patient outcome is similar for SV and PPV in non-paralysed adult patients with the LMA. Isoflurane and sevoflurane at 0.75 MAC provide suitable conditions for maintenance and emergence, but emergence is more rapid with sevoflurane.
