Study of Intubation Time Required for Excellent Tracheal Intubation With Low Dose Rocuronium During Propofol Anaesthesia in Children With and Without Atropine
The investigators hypothesized that increasing the cardiac output by use of atropine in children might result in a reduction of the intubation time needed to facilitate tracheal intubation.

Conditions
- Intubation; Difficult
Interventions
- Atropine
- Normal saline
Primary outcomes
- intubation time — intubating condition at 120 seconds from rocuronium injection
Tracheal intubation was attempted was predetermined according to the up-and-down method, starting with 120 s, in both groups. If intubation was successful (unsuccessful), the assigned intubation time was decreased (increased) by one interval for the next patients in that group, respectively. In this study, the investigators adopted 69, 83, 99, 120, 144, 173, and 208 s, since these intubation times have equal intervals (0.08) on a logarithmic scale.
