A patient in the operating room undergoes rapid sequence intubation to prevent aspiration of gastric contents. During this rapid induction, he is given a standard intravenous (IV) dose of muscle relaxant “X.” The patient is then given a standard IV dose of vecuronium to maintain muscle relaxation during surgery. At the end of the surgical procedure, more than an hour later, the anesthesiologist administers a standard IV dose of neostigmine. However, the patient does not respond and continues to display too much muscle paralysis to permit safe extubation. Drug X was most likely which of the following?
A. Dantrolene
B. Pancuronium
C. Succinylcholine
D. Midazolam
