Summary
Succinylcholine is commonly used for neuromuscular relaxation for short procedures such as
rigid bronchoscopy. A more modern alternative is the application of low-dose rocuronium,
reversed by low-dose sugammadex. The investigators compare the intubating conditions,
incidence of postoperative myalgia (POM), as well as patient satisfaction for these two
muscle relaxants.
