Brief Summary:
Emergency intubation of patients in intensive care is a high-risk endeavour For many decades succinylcholine has been the neuromuscular blocking agent of choice However succinylcholine may have life-threatening side effects and is contraindicated in a variety of diseases relevant in intensive care The nondepolarizing agent rocuronium has been propagated as alternative for succinylcholine Though a recent meta-analysis found no difference in intubating conditions between succinylcholine and rocuronium in elective cases there are no data in emergent cases in intensive care The aim of the present study is to compare succinylcholine and rocuronium with regard to 1 quality of intubating conditions 2 length of the intubating sequence 3 failed intubating attempts 4 hemodynamic sequelae of intubation and 5 desaturations
Detailed Description:
Objective to compare succinylcholine and rocuronium with regard to 1 quality of intubating conditions 2 length of the intubating sequence 3 failed intubating attempts 4 hemodynamic sequelae of intubation and 5 desaturations
Design prospective randomized single-blind study Setting Intensive care units of an University Hospital Patients adult patients in intensive care requiring emergency intubation Randomization 11 randomization to either succinylcholine 1mgkg or rocuronium 06 mgkg
Data 1 assessment of the quality of intubating conditions by means of a score 2 length of the intubating sequence defined as time between injection of neuromuscular blocking agent and first end-tidal CO2 on the monitor 3 number of failed intubating attempts 4 hemodynamic sequelae of intubation defined as events requiring injection of vasoactive drugs and 5 desaturations defined as saturation below 90 andor any decrease in saturation of 5 or more
