The Effect of Precurarization With Rocuronium on the Incidence and Severity of Succinylcholine-Induced Fasciculations and Myalgias in a High Volume ERCP Center
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating non-pretreated Succinylcholine, succinylcholine 1 minute after rocuronium pretreatment, and 1 other intervention for Myalgia. Completed, enrolled 300 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Succinylcholine is a medication (depolarizing muscle relaxant) that is used as part of an anesthetic (going to sleep for surgery). This medication can cause significant muscle soreness. Rocuronium is a medication (non-depolarizing muscle relaxant) that some anesthesia providers believe may reduce muscle soreness caused by succinylcholine if given prior, but this has been controversial. Some anesthesiologists pretreat patients with rocuronium before giving patients succinylcholine, and some do not. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of pretreatment with rocuronium on muscle soreness associated with succinylcholine administration.
