Clinical TrialIntravenous rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg improves the conditions for tracheal intubation in cats: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
We evaluated the use of rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg intravenously (IV) to facilitate tracheal intubation in cats anesthetized for elective ovariohysterectomy. ⋯ Rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg IV improves intubating conditions compared with saline, and reduces the time and number of attempts to intubate with only a short period of apnea in cats.
