Assessing First Pass Success Rate with Low Dose Rocuronium during Rapid Sequence Intubation among Patients in an Emergency Department
Abstract: Introduction: Rapid sequence intubation is defined as the administration of a potent induction agent immediately followed by a rapidly acting paralytic agent to induce unconsciousness and motor paralysis to facilitate endotracheal intubation easier and safer. Rocuronium and its first - pass success rates were primarily researched in western populations. There have been very few studies on the topic among the Indian population. Therefore, it is crucial to perform studies to assess first pass success rate when a low dose rocuronium is combined with an induction agent in RSI in adult patients presenting to the emergency department such that it can be implicated in an anticipated difficult airway. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at the ED of Amala Institute of Medical Sciences over a period of 1.5 years. Associations between qualitative variables were tested using Fischer?s exact test and relation between qualitative and quantitative variables were tested using t test. P value
Keywords: Rapid sequence intubation, low dose rocuronium, first pass success
