NCT ID NCT07716891

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving a small dose of the muscle relaxant rocuronium before the main dose can help it work faster during general anesthesia. About 108 adults having elective surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the pre-injection method or the standard single-dose method. Researchers will measure how quickly the drug takes full effect and how it affects heart rate and blood pressure.
