    Notes: Rocuronium is a recently introduced nondepolarising neuromuscular blocking agent with a rapid onset and intermediate duration of action. Experimental observations have suggested that during onset it acts synergistically with other nondepolarising agents, but that at a steady state the combined action is additive. In order to investigate whether synergism during onset produces a clinical benefit we performed the following study of tracheal intubation conditions. Consenting patients presenting for elective surgery which required tracheal intubation were randomly allocated to receive a standard anaesthetic and either a twice ED95 dose of rocuronium, or vecuronium, or an equipotent mixture of both drugs. Tracheal intubation conditions were assessed after 60 s and scored as excellent, good, poor or impossible. The conditions produced in the rocuronium and the mixture groups were similar and both were significantly better than those of vecuronium. Excellent intubation conditions were achieved in 57% of the rocuronium group, 70% of the mixture group and 27% of the vecuronium group. We conclude that a mixture of rocuronium and vecuronium acts synergistically during the early part of their action and a mixture containing one ED95 of both agents provides comparable conditions for tracheal intubation as an equipotent dose of rocuronium.

    Notes: The Arrhenius hypothesis suggests that change in temperature has a less marked effect on the rate of physical processes than on biological reactions. We have investigated the process underlying recovery from neuromuscular block in man by studying the effect of cooling on the rate of recovery from depolarising and non-depolarising block. Vecuronium, rocuronium and decamethonium (C10) neuromuscular block were investigated using the isolated forearm technique on awake human volunteers. In these experiments, one arm was cooled whilst the other was used as control. Moderate hypothermia decreased the rate of recovery from all three agents, but this was significantly less marked with the depolarising drug. The mean Q10 (the anticipated change in rate of a reaction across a 10°C temperature gradient) of the rate of recovery for vecuronium was 3.21, rocuronium 2.86 and decamethonium 1.29. This suggests a different process in the recovery of these two types of drug. According to the Arrhenius hypothesis this would suggest that the recovery from non-depolarising drugs is likely to involve a biochemical mechanism and that recovery from decamethonium is controlled by a physical process.
