Table 6 Exploratory outcomes.
| Exploratory outcomes | Groups | Comparison | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SY | RM | |||
| Neuromuscular blocking agent used | Succinylcholine | Rocuronium | ||
| Patients included in analysis | 141 | 126 | P value | |
| The number of intubation attempts | 2 | 22 (15) | 19 (15) | 0.032 |
| 3 | 5 (4) | 14 (11) | ||
| ≥4 | 2 (2) | 6 (5) | ||
| Mean±SD | 1.27±0.60* | 1.52±0.87 | ||
| The time of out-of-hospital care (min) | Minimum | 33 | 35 | 0.071 |
| Maximum | 79 | 85 | ||
| Mean±SD | 54±4 | 55±5 | ||
| The number of deaths during out-of-hospital care | 1 (1) | 3 (2) | 0.346 | |
| The number of unintentional extubations | 1 (1) | 2 (2) | 0.604 | |
| Descriptive are data presented as frequency (percentage) and numerical and ordinal data are presented as mean±standard deviation (SD). The Fischer exact test was performed for statistical data. All results were considered significant if the value was less than 0.05. * Significantly lower than the RM group. | ||||
