Neuromuscular Blocking Agents and Rapid Sequence Induction for Laparoscopic Pyloromyotomy: Impact on Time to Extubation and Perioperative Complications

Retrospective study of 168 infants undergoing laparoscopic pyloromyotomy comparing three anesthesia induction approaches: classic RSI with succinylcholine, modified RSI with cisatracurium, or no neuromuscular blocking agent. No significant differences in extubation time or complication rates were found, supporting modified RSI as safe and effective for this population.
