Neuromuscular blocker binders around the corner?
Read this from Waking Up Costs: "Neuromuscular blocker binders around the corner?"If this Org 25969 get to the market, we can all dump Sux away and use Esmeron for all the emergency airway right? Wonder how is the cost like?

I usually intubate <60sec after Esmeron too.
My concern is in cases of dificult airway, if it's really really bad one, do u still use Esmeron? I'll go for short acting in that case.
So with this new drug from Organon, we can safely use Esmeron. If really can't intubate & can't ventilate, just reverse it STAT. Simple & easy.
Interested to know the cost of this Org 25969.
I will still use Suxamethonium in suspected difficult airway & in all maternity cases which require GA. Rocuronium still cannot replace Suxamethonium...
Just my 2 cents
Point noted. :)
I still use sux for my LSCS majority of my emergency cases.
However I think with this combo of
Esmeron and Org 25969, we'd b safer in situation where sux is contraindicated. It's a safer alternative.
