Scientific titleTime to resumption of spontaneous respiration in patients administered either suxamethonium or rocuronium followed by sugammadex: a randomised double-blind controlled trial
Study objectivesThere is no differece in the time to resumption of breathing or incidence of desaturation in patients receiving either suxamethonium or rocuronium followed by one of two doses of sugammadex.
Ethics approval(s)Scotland A Research Ethics Committee, 24/08/2009, ref: 09/MRE00/29‏
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedRoutine general anaesthesia
InterventionAfter pre-oxygenation, patients will be randomised to one of three groups for the administration of either: suxamethonium 1 mg/kg, rocuronium 1 mg/kg followed by sugammadex 10 mg/kg or rocuronium 1 mg/kg followed by sugammadex 16 mg/kg. Sugammadex will be administered 3 minutes after rocuronium; 0.9% saline will be administered at this time in the suxamethonium group to maintain blinding.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Suxamethonium, rocuronium, sugammadex
Primary outcome measureLength of time to resumption of spontaneous ventilation as indicated by visible diaphragmatic movement or decrease in oxygen saturation to less than or equal to 90% before onset of spontaneous ventilation
Secondary outcome measures1. Frequency of desaturation to less than or equal to 90%
2. Length of time to movement of reservoir bag
3. Length of time to first capnographic evidence of ventilation
4. Incidence of adverse events in all groups
