The Effect of Different Doses of Ketamine on Tracheal Intubating Conditions Using Low Dose Rocuronium in Children

Rocuronium is suitable for rapid induction within 60-90 seconds and its effect last 24-40 minute after single bolus injection. For outpatient surgery with short operation time, low dose rocuronium is frequently used for rapid recovery at the expense of compromised intubating condition.
