Endotracheal Intubation Without Muscle Relaxants

Summary

Prospective study conducted between March 2013 and November 2014 at Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda, in Madrid, Spain to identify complications and evaluate the efficacy of pure inhalational anesthesia induction to achieve endotracheal intubation without the use of muscle relaxant and analgesic drugs.
