Surgical conditions with rocuronium versus suxamethonium in cesarean section: a randomized trial

While onset time and conditions for intubation with rocuronium versus suxamethonium have been repeatedly evaluated,[1 –3] none of these studies focused on surgical conditions for cesarean section and their effect on the duration of surgery and ease of delivery. Newborn adaptation depends partly on the time between induction of anesthesia (and administration of anesthetics) and umbilical cord ligation,[4–6] beca use the amount of drug crossing the placenta from the maternal to the fetal circulation is determined not only by the drug’s physicochemical and structural properties, but also by the dose and duration of transplacental transfer.
