Onset and effectiveness of rocuronium for rapid onset of paralysis in patients with major burns: priming or large bolus

A dose of 1.5 mg kg−1 not only produces an initial onset of paralysis as early as 30 s, which we speculate could be a reasonable onset time for relief of laryngospasm, but also has an onset as fast as priming with superior intubating conditions and no respiratory side-effects.
