This study investigates whether rocuronium and suxamethonium (also known as Succinylcholine) provide equivalent conditions for airway management and neonatal outcomes during cesarean sections. Ensuring the safety and efficacy of these agents is crucial due to the physiological and hemodynamic changes associated with pregnancy and delivery.<h4>Method</h4>We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. We included studies involving pregnant women undergoing cesarean sections that used rocuronium as an intervention and suxamethonium as a comparator, reporting outcomes such as Apgar scores, surgery duratioBMC anesthesiology476https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12490032biostudies-literatureIntubation conditions and neonatal outcomes with rocuronium versus suxamethonium in cesarean sections: A systematic review and meta-analysis.PMC12490032Mady AIsmail NRMenshawy AKhalafallah MAMenshawy EAbouelmagd MMensahwy AHassan AAfalseIntubation conditions and neonatal outcomes with rocuronium versus suxamethonium in cesarean sections: A systematic review and meta-analysis.<h4>Background</h4>While general anesthesia is necessary for some emergency deliveries, it carries risks such as failed intubation and neonatal complications.
