midazolam + rocuronium + fentanyl + propofol

This refers to a specific drug combination regimen used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in a clinical study conducted by the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP). The regimen consists of midazolam (a benzodiazepine for sedation), rocuronium (a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent), fentanyl (an opioid analgesic), and propofol (an intravenous anesthetic). The study specifically investigates the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rocuronium within this anesthetic context, particularly focusing on the effects of sepsis, age, and genetic polymorphisms (such as SLCO1A2) on drug metabolism and action. This combination is typically administered intravenously to achieve a state of unconsciousness, analgesia, and muscle relaxation required for surgical procedures.
