In this study, we assessed the incidences of rocuronium use in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia using SGA devices. Methods: From September 2022 to August 2023, the medical records of adult patients (\u226519 years) who underwent orthopedic surgery using SGA devices were retrospectively investigated. The incidences of rocuronium use during anesthetic induction were analyzed according to the anesthetic induction drug. The association of rocuronium use during anesthesia was analyzed in terms of demographic (age, sex, height, and weight), surgical (surgical time), and anesthetic factors (premedication, anesthetic agent, anesthetic time). Results: In total, 321 patients were enrolled. The incidence rate of rocuronium use during anesthetic induction was 28.3%. In the subgroup analysis, patients receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol (PPF) and remifentanil showed a markedly lower incidence (14.4%) than the other anesthetic groups. Premedication or short anesthetic duration was associated with lower incidences of rocuronium use. Demographic and other anesthetic factors did not seem to affect the incidences of rocuronium use during anesthesia. Conclusions: The incidence of rocuronium use during anesthetic induction with SGA devices was significantly lower with the PPF-TIVA compared to that using remimazolam-TIVA or inhalational anesthesia. Premedication with midazolam and shorter operation times were associated with a significantly lower incidence of rocuronium use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13175299","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]],"date-time":"2024-09-06T11:53:11Z","timestamp":1725623591000},"page":"5299","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Incidences of Rocuronium Use during Anesthetic Induction in Adult Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery Using Supraglottic Airway Devices: A Retrospective Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yu-Kyung","family":"Bae","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyo-Seok","family":"Na","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung-Won","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Young-Jin","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5452-4166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Hwan","family":"Do","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"858","DOI":"10.4103\/ija.IJA_153_18","article-title":"A comparative evaluation of ProSeal laryngeal mask airway, I-gel and Supreme laryngeal mask airway in adult patients undergoing elective surgery: A randomised trial","volume":"62","author":"Singh","year":"2018","journal-title":"Indian J.
