Rocuronium administration in children during isoflurane anesthesia: neuromuscular effects.
The time-course of the effect of rocuronium during isoflurane anesthesia in children has rarely been evaluated. Forty-five children, aged 2-14 years, ASA 1, undergoing elective surgery and receiving isoflurane anesthesia, were studied. ⋯ Maximal relaxation was reached in all children receiving 600 or 800 micrograms/kg of rocuronium. The TSRNMF were mainly related to the weight of the children, and gender affected each relationship. Widely variable responses were observed with all three doses.
