Production of skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery after general anesthesia has been induced.

Facilitation of endotracheal intubation (rapid sequence and routine tracheal intubation).

Also has been used to facilitate mechanical ventilation in the ICU; however, manufacturer states that prolonged use in this setting has not been evaluated. Whenever neuromuscular blocking agents are used in the ICU, consider benefits versus risks of such therapy and assess patients frequently to determine need for continued paralysis. (See Intensive Care Setting under Cautions.)

Compared with other neuromuscular blocking agents, rocuronium has a rapid onset and intermediate duration of action. Recommended as an alternative to succinylcholine for rapid sequence intubation. When given in sufficient doses (e.g., ≥1 mg/kg), produces similar intubating conditions to succinylcholine.
