Comparison of Intubation Conditions During Rapid Sequence Induction Obtained With Modified Time Principal Induction With a Standard Intubation Dose of Rocuronium Versus Succinylcholine

Comparison of Intubation Conditions During Rapid Sequence Induction Obtained With Modified Time Principal Induction With a Standard Intubation Dose of Rocuronium Versus Succinylcholine : A Prospective Non-inferiority Randomized and Blind Trial

Sponsor

The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Enrollment

152 participants

Start Date

Sep 13, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Anesthesia

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess and compare conditions for tracheal intubation obtained with modified time principal induction with 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium and 1 mg/kg succinylcholine. Specifically, the investigators will be evaluating ease of laryngoscopy, vocal cord view, vocal cord opening, and movement of limbs and coughing during tracheal intubation in order to assess intubation conditions, to compare efficiency and success rate of tracheal intubation between two induction agents and to determine the rate of patient awareness during induction and post-operative recall of paralysis.

Interventions

DRUGModified Time Principle Induction (MTPI) with rocuronium

Participants will be induced using lidocaine 1 mg/kg IV, an opioid such a fentanyl (1-2 mcg/kg) IV, followed by 0.6 mg/kg IV rocuronium, and IV propofol with dosage at the discretion of the care team, administered within 10 seconds of rocuronium and the intubation will be performed with a C-MAC

DRUGRSI succinylcholine

Participants will be induced as per routine care using lidocaine 1 mg/kg IV, an opioid such a fentanyl (1-2 mcg/kg) IV, propofol 1-2 mg/kg IV, and succinylcholine 1mg/kg IV, and the intubation will be performed with a C-MAC
