Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To find the dose of rocuronium that provides conditions equal to those encountered when using suxamethonium whilst performing a rapid sequence induction;Secondary Objective: Are there any safety issues associated with the dose of rocuronium which provides equal intubating conditions to those of suxamethonium;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome to be measured is the ‘intubation Conditions score’. We wish to demonstrate which dose of rocuronium provides intubating conditions equal to those with suxamethonium in 9/10 subjects
