Background: There has been a steady increase in outpatient-based
ultra-short duration gynecology surgeries. However, there are no detailed studies
on anesthesia regimens for these surgeries. The aim of this study was to compare
the effects of low-dose rocuronium and fentanyl single bolus for their
suitability with these patients. Methods: A total of 60
patients were randomly divided into three groups: a control group (group C, n =
20) that received 3 mL of normal saline; a fentanyl group (group F, n = 19) that
received 1 mcg/kg of fentanyl; and a low-dose rocuronium group (group R, n = 20)
that received 0.3 mg/kg of rocuronium. We collected hemodynamic data during
anesthetic induction and the intraoperative period. We also investigated
supraglottic airway (SGA) insertion condition, patient’s gross movements, and
surgeon’s satisfaction. In addition, we evaluated the incidence of postoperative
nausea and vomiting, pruritus, first voiding time and discharge time from the
postanesthetic care unit. Results: Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood
pressure were significantly lower in group F after SGA insertion (p =
0.031, p = 0.046 and p = 0.048). SGA insertion conditions
scores were significantly worse in group C than in group F and group R for total
score (p
