In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Globally, we are approaching 1 million surgical procedures each day. Tracheal intubation is the mainstay of securing the patient's airway and breathing during general anaesthesia. Approximately 100.000 tracheal intubations are performed annually in Denmark. Airway management remains the primary reason for anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. It has been traditionally accepted that best tracheal intubation conditions are obtained by paralysing the patient's muscles, including vocal cords, using a neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) such as rocuronium. However, using NBMA may increase the risk of pulmonary complications, intra-operative awareness, in which the patient is paralysed but awake during surgery, anaphylaxis, and re-intubation. In addition, there is a risk of residual neuromuscular blockade postoperatively. In the US, prolonged ventilation and unplanned intubation are the
