[Rocuronium bromide as component of general anaesthesia in patients with traumatic cerebral compression].

The choice of myorelaxation agent for rapid sequence tracheal intubation for surgical cerebral decompression is a less studied question in neuroanaesthesiology. 32 patients with cerebral trauma (GCS<8) were involved in the study. Influence of succinylcholine and rocuronium bromide on cerebral circulation, intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure and systemic haemodynamics was assessed.
