We compared the use of sevoflurane and propofol with three different doses of rocuronium for modified rapid-sequence induction of anaesthesia. One hundred and forty adult patients were randomly allocated to have a rapid-sequence intravenous induction with propofol 2–3 mg.kg-1 (group P) or an inhalational induction with sevoflurane 8% in oxygen, using a vital capacity technique (group S). Following loss of the eyelash reflex, cricoid pressure was applied and 20 patients in each group were administered rocuronium 0.3 (groups P/0.3 and S/0.3), 0.45 (groups P/0.45 and S/0.45) or 0.6 (groups P/0.6 and S/0.6) mg.kg-1 . An additional 10 patients in each group received only saline placebo in place of the muscle relaxant (groups P/Saline and S/Saline). Laryngoscopy was started 60 s later and intubating conditions evaluated by a blinded anaesthetist according to a standard scoring system. Intubating conditions were acceptable in one patient and no patient, respectively, following induction with sevoflurane and propofol without the muscle relaxant. The conditions were acceptable in 30, 55 and 90% of subjects with sevoflurane induction, and in 45, 80 and 90% of subjects with propofol induction following 0.3, 0.45 and 0.6 mg.kg-1 of rocuronium, respectively (no significant difference for each dose of rocuronium). The present study shows that intubating conditions during a rapid-sequence induction using rocuronium 0.6 mg.kg-1 following induction of anaesthesia with sevoflurane or propofol are similar.
