Abstract

Background: Suxamethonium, a depolarizing neuromuscular agent, was introduced in 1952 and since then has been used for tracheal intubation. It was favoured for its rapid onset and ultra-short duration of action but has numerous side effects, especially cardiovascular. So agents with low potency and shorter duration of action were developed, and in 1995, Rocuronium was introduced, which is a non-depolarizing agent and has the fastest onset of action
