Muscle pains after intramuscular suxamethonium chloride.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of suxamethonium chloride by intramuscular injection as a short acting muscle relaxant for endotracheal intubation is described. The incidence and severity of postoperative muscle pains in this group of 94 patients is compared with the results of another group (of 112 patients) in which the drug was given intravenously. The incidence of pains was similar in the two groups (26.6 and 28.6 per cent respectively). The percentage of severe pains was reduced from 18.7 in the intravenous series, to 12.8 in the intramuscular; this reduction was not statistically significant.

Postoperative muscle pains.
MUSCLE pains have been reported as occurring after the administration of suxamethonium chloride. Bourne et al. (1952) made passing mention of this, but not until 1954 did Churchill-Davidson fully describe these pains and determine their incidence — primarily in the ambulant patient. His series was small, covering 68 patients. In view of considerable speculation on the frequency and importance o...
متن کاملThe prevention of muscle pains associated with the use of suxamethonium.
The incidence and severity of muscle pain was assessed in 150 males who underwent bronchoscopy using thiopentone and suxamethonium iodide or chloride for anaesthesia. In 50 patients tubocurarine 3-5 mg, diplacin 10-15 mg or kvalidil 10-15 mg was injected intravenously after the induction dose of thiopentone. In a further group of 50 patients neostigmine 0.5-0.75 mg was injected intramuscularly ...
متن کاملThe interaction of suxamethonium with propanidid and thiopentone.
An investigation was carried out in adults aged 20-60 years comparing the interaction of propanidid or thiopentone with the muscle relaxant suxamethonium. An attempt was made to correlate the apnoea time with the incidence and severity of muscle pains. No correlation was found between the apnoea times and the incidence of muscle pains. The overall incidence of muscle pains was 19 per cent. The ...
متن کاملPostoperative muscle pains and suxamethonium.
Two matched groups of patients with Hodgkin's disease undergoing a staging laparotomy received thiopentone, pancuronium bromide or suxamethonium 1.0 mg kg-1 (group 2) to facilitate tracheal intubation. There were no differences in the sites or degree of postoperative myalgia between the groups. It is concluded that efforts to reduce the frequency of suxamethonium muscle pains in patients having...
متن کاملSuxamethonium pains and electromyograph recordings in children.
Surface electromyography was used to investigate muscle activity in children following the administration of suxamethonium. The duration, amplitude and frequency of muscle action potentials recorded in children were similar to those in adults. Twenty-three children had muscle action potential frequencies in excess of 50 Hz, but only two suffered pain after operation. The relationship between hi...
