Core Tip This study established a population pharmacokinetic model of rocuronium in obese patients with colorectal cancer, incorporating skeletal muscle index to explore its effect on drug distribution volume. Using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling and Monte Carlo simulation, we developed an individualized dosing strategy based on muscle mass. The findings reveal that skeletal muscle index is a significant covariate influencing rocuronium pharmacokinetic, providing a scientific basis for optimizing anesthetic dosing in obese surgical patients and enhancing patient safety during colorectal cancer surgery.
