However, little data exist regarding rocuronium in patients above 80\u00a0years of age. The aim of this study was to determine the onset time and duration of action for rocuronium 0.6\u00a0mg\/kg in patients above 80\u00a0years compared with young adults.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This prospective observational study included 16 young (18\u201040\u00a0years) and 16 elderly (&gt;80 years) patients scheduled for total intravenous anaesthesia. Neuromuscular block following rocuronium 0.6\u00a0mg\/kg was monitored with acceleromyography using train\u2010of\u2010four (TOF) stimulation. The primary outcome was onset time (from administration of rocuronium until TOF count\u00a0=\u00a00). Secondary outcomes were duration of action (from administration to TOF ratio &gt;0.9) and intubating conditions according to Intubation Difficulty Score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Elderly patients, median age of 84 years, had significantly prolonged onset time compared to younger patients; median 135\u00a0seconds (135\u2010158) vs 90\u00a0seconds (90\u2010105), respectively, a mean difference of 82\u00a0seconds (40\u2010124) and Wilcoxon Mann\u2010Whitney odds (WMW) of 19.48 (7.48\u2010X). Duration of action in elderly patients was significantly longer, with a median time of 81\u00a0minute (71\u201097) vs 53\u00a0minute (42\u201073), respectively, a mean difference of 31\u00a0minute (14\u201048), and WMW odds of 6.35 (2.59\u2010X).
