Abstract

Rocuronium has the most rapid onset of action among the nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs; doses of 0.6-0.9 mg/ Kg guarantee a complete block in about 60-90 seconds and good or excellent intubating conditions in 60 seconds [1,2]. Its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics can be influenced by different factors as age, inhaled anesthetics, hepatic and renal insufficiency, hypothermia, gender and obesity [3-8].
