- High-dose rocuronium (>1.2 mg/kg) is associated with a higher probability of successful tracheal intubation on the first attempt in critically ill adults undergoing emergency intubation.
- The association between high-dose rocuronium and first-attempt success was specifically observed in ICU settings (adjusted RR 1.12) but not in ED settings (adjusted RR 0.97).
- This secondary analysis of multicenter trial data suggests the need for a randomized controlled trial to confirm findings due to potential unmeasured confounding factors.
