Continuous Infusion Versus Intermittent Bolus Injection of Rocuronium (RCVB)

April 24, 2017 updated by: Hee-Soo Kim, Seoul National University Hospital

Comparison of Hourly Rocuronium Consumption Using Continuous Infusion Versus Intermittent Bolus Injection: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The research is to find out whether continuous infusion of rocuronium requires more or less amount of rocuronium, per kilogram and per hour, than bolus administered rocuronium during noncardiac surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rocuronium dose per kilogram per hour
Time Frame: end of the surgery
Total dose of rocuronium injected during surgery, divided by patient body weight and anesthesia time.
end of the surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Desaturation event
Time Frame: Right after the patient is transferred to the ward, from PACU (1 day)

Right after the patient is transferred to the ward, from PACU (1 day)
Surgical rating scale
Time Frame: end of the surgery
Numerical scale describing how easy it is for surgeon to access surgical field, ranging from1 to 5
end of the surgery
