RSII with rocuronium followed by reversal with sugammadex allowed earlier re-establishment of spontaneous ventilation than with succinylcholine.

A high-dose remifentanil-propofol infusion was associated with a higher blood pressure and lower heart rate than sevoflurane-fentanyl anesthesia in infants. Postoperative morphine consumption, recovery time and quality were similar.

We conclude that the mean duration of action of succinylcholine is prolonged for the patient heterozygous for the K-variant allele by at most 4 minutes relative to the wild-type, but this difference is small relative to the wide variability and overlap in recovery times among all patients.

Thiopental was found to have a faster onset than propofol in elderly surgical patients.

No significant difference was found in the incidence of hoarseness or vocal fold injury using the Endoflex tube. However, the statistically significant lower increase in the shimmer values in that group implies that the Endoflex may be associated with less laryngeal morbidity.
