Revista espanola de anestesiologia y reanimacion, 56(10), 604-611 (2010-02-16)
The correlation between gender and the potency of certain neuromuscular blockers, including rocuronium, has been investigated. However, the methods used have been inconsistent. This study aimed to look further at the role of gender in order to arrive at definitive

European journal of anaesthesiology. Supplement, 11, 39-41 (1995-09-01)
The pharmacokinetics of aminosteroid neuromuscular blocking drugs have been shown to be altered in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. A reduced clearance and prolonged elimination half-life of pancuronium and vecuronium have been demonstrated. Pharmacokinetic studies of the newest aminosteroid neuromuscular blocking

For many years, much effort has been done to develop non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents of rapid onset and short duration. It has been shown that rocuronium bromide is a nondepolarizing, steroidal muscle relaxant with fast onset and short-to-intermediate duration of
T Wang et al.
Anaesthesia, 69(8), 854-859 (2014-05-14)
We investigated whether laparoscopic vs open surgical approaches affected the duration of neuromuscular blockade following a single bolus dose of rocuronium. Fifty-three female patients underwent either laparoscopic or open gynaecological surgery. Rocuronium 0.6 mg.kg(-1) was administered to achieve neuromuscular blockade
K S Khuenl-Brady et al.
Clinical pharmacokinetics, 31(3), 174-183 (1996-09-01)
A new aminosteroidal neuromuscular blocking agent, rocuronium bromide, has recently been introduced into clinical practice. Its main advantage over other currently used drugs of this kind is its fast onset of action, which could render rocuronium the muscle relaxant of
