Testing if rocuronium given before anesthetic speeds up muscle relaxation onset
This trial investigates whether giving rocuronium (a muscle relaxant) before the main anesthetic can make muscles relax faster and affect heart rate and blood pressure during the start of general anesthesia. It aims to improve safety and smoothness of the process for people having planned surgery with a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
This trial tests how fast the muscle relaxant rocuronium works during surgery, and whether a patient's heart function affects its onset. It may help doctors give the right dose at the right time.
This study tests a new medicine (HRS-9190) that helps relax muscles during surgery. It is for people having a planned surgery that lasts 1.5 to 4 hours under general anesthesia with a breathing tube. The goal is to see if the medicine works well and is safe.
This study tests two different muscle relaxant drugs—rocuronium and succinylcholine—to see which one helps doctors place a breathing tube faster during emergency anesthesia. It may be a good fit for people who need general anesthesia for surgery and have either a high body mass index or a difficult airway.
This trial tests if different levels of muscle relaxation during abdominal surgery affect lung function and breathing problems after surgery. It may help patients who are having open abdominal surgery under general anesthesia lasting over an hour.
This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
