Summary
Magnesium accelerates the reaction of rocuronium, a neuromuscular blocker used for muscle
relaxation to ease the intubation during anaesthesia.
Succinylcholine is a very fast reacting neuromuscular blocker. It is often used in emergency
procedures, when rapid intubation is necessary.
We want to now if a perfusion of magnesium before anaesthesia accelerates to such an extent
the reaction of rocuronium that intubation conditions are comparable or even better than with
succinylcholine alone (prior perfusion of saline=placebo)
