Interventions

We are going to include patients with bowel obstruction who need an urgent operation. They are going to be divided in two groups using a random number generator. The patients are going to be prepared
muscular relaxation is going to be measured at the same time. We are going to evaluate the intubation conditions using grading system (the position and movement of the vocal cords, jaw relaxation and

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patient with bowel obstruction 2. Aged 18 years or over 3. Graded 2 and 3 on ASA Physical Status Classification System

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with known allergy for rocuronium or succinylcholine 2. Patients with increased potassium level 3. Patients with cronic or acute renal failure 4. Patients with whom difficulties with vocal cords visualisation and tracheal intubation are expected

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Quality of vocal cords visualisation is determined during the laryngoscopy 60 seconds after the muscular relaxant application using the visual scale (evaluating the position of vocal cords - whether are they adduced, in the midlle position or abduced at the time of laryngoscopy).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Potassium and mioglobin serum level measured five minutes before and after the RSI 2. Heart rate measured one minute before and after the RSI 3. Blood pressure measured one minute before and after the RSI
