intubation conditions at 60 seconds with the dose of succinylcholine for rapid-sequence intubation. J Clin Anesth. 2024; 9
Options for endotracheal intubation include succinylcholine, intubation without an NMBA (eg, high dose remifentanil intubation, although this technique is associated with more trauma), or rocuronium or vecuronium if sugammadex is available for rapid reversal of block. (See 'Sugammadex' below.)
Numerous reviews have concluded that succinylcholine provides better intubating conditions than rocuronium, but other observational studies have reported that when rocuronium is used at a dose higher than 1 mg/kg, intubation is as successful as with succinylcholine. Consequently, surveys have reported a marked increase in rocuronium use
Therefore, clinicians are inclined to administer the minimally effective dose of succinylcholine that is meant to provide excellent intubating conditions but that provokes only a short apnoea time. The widely recommended standard intubating regimen of succinylcholine has been 1.0 mg kg 1, although the scientific basis of that specific
