Pharmacodynamics of rocuronium in sickle cell patients.
    Anaesthesia, critical care & pain medicine, 2022, Volume: 41, Issue:1

    Sickle cell disease is the most widespread genetic disease in the world. The chronic organ damage due to this disease could lead to variability of responses to the anaesthetic drugs. We analysed the pharmacodynamics response of rocuronium to sickle cell patients.. We observed and compared the onset time and clinical duration (time to recovery first twitch) of 0.6 mg kg. The onset time of rocuronium was longer in sickle cell patients [mean ± SD (extremes)], [6.3 ± 2.1 (1.8-10) min] than in the control group [2.5 ± 0.6 (1.4-3.5) min] (P < 0.01). The clinical duration was shorter in sickle cell patients [19.2 ± 7.1 (13-41) min] when compared to the control group [28.9 ± 6.9 (21-48) min] (P < 0.01). The time before the first incremental dose was shorter in the sickle cell patients group [27.7 ± 7.9 (19-49) min] compared to the control group [39.9 ± 8.7 (30-56) min] (P < 0.01).. The onset time of rocuronium was significantly longer with a shorter duration of action in patients with sickle cell disease versus the general population.
