To assess intubating conditions without neuromuscular blocking drugs, to determine the relation between the dose of rocuronium and the probability of achieving excellent or at least good (good or excellent) intubating conditions with the intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA), and finally, to determine the relationship between rocuronium use and the success rate of endotracheal intubation.Prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.University-affiliated medical center.Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II patients undergoing elective surgery.Anesthesia was induced with propofol 2.5 mg/kg and fentanyl 1 microg/kg. One minute after loss of consciousness, patients received rocuronium 0.2 mg/kg or saline. In the rocuronium group, if intubating conditions were scored as poor, rocuronium dose in the next patient was increased by 0.05 mg/kg. If intubating conditions were scored as good, no change was made, but if conditions were scored as excellent, the dose was decreased by 0.05 mg/kg. One minute after rocuronium or saline administration, an ILMA was used to intubate the trachea. If intubation was unsuccessful, a second attempt was made using the ILMA.We recorded intubating conditions and the success rate of tracheal intubation.Without rocuronium, the probability of achieving at least good intubating conditions with the ILMA was 30%. A rocuronium dose of 0.2 mg/kg resulted in a probability of 80% to achieve at least good intubating conditions. Rocuronium significantly increased the success rate of the second intubation attempt.To achieve good or excellent intubating conditions with the ILMA, a rocuronium dose lower than the standard intubating dose of 0.6 mg/kg can be used. Neuromuscular blockade increases the success rate of intubation if a second attempt is necessary.

Latest information on COVID-19
Stanford Medicine is closely monitoring the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). A new page is dedicated to the latest information and developments about COVID-19.
Racism and discrimination are direct affronts to Stanford Medicine?s values. Read our leaders? pledge on racial equity.
A leader in the biomedical revolution, Stanford Medicine has a long tradition of leadership in pioneering research, creative teaching protocols and effective clinical therapies.
An at-home COVID-19 test, designed by Stanford researchers to be easy to use and provide results within 30 minutes, will be the focus of a study funded by the Stanford Medicine Catalyst Program.
Our scientists have launched dozens of research projects as part of the global response to COVID-19. Some aim to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease; others aim to understand how it spreads and how people?s immune systems respond to it.
We are here for you and with your help, we will get through this together.
Recover, Restore and Re-open framework is a tool to guide communities as they reestablish operations during different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
