Suxamethonium-induced myalgia.
Sir,—I read with interest the paper by Kahraman and colleagues on the effect of i.m. diclofenac on suxamethonium-induced myalgia [1]. Diclofenac, administered i.m. to conscious patients, is painful and has a tendency to cause sterile abscesses. Its use to ameliorate suxamethonium myalgia could be a case of a "remedy worse than the disease". Pretreatments have been tried previously but all have ...
متن کاملRocuronium pretreatment reduces suxamethonium-induced myalgia: comparison with vecuronium.
We have studied, in 150 patients undergoing elective oral surgery, the effectiveness and sequelae of pretreatment with rocuronium for reducing myalgia after suxamethonium. Patients were allocated randomly to one of three groups: anaesthesia was induced with propofol and fentanyl, and group V received vecuronium 1 mg, group R rocuronium 6 mg and group P placebo pretreatment. Suxamethonium 1.5 mg...
متن کاملDifferential effects of neuromuscular blocking agents on suxamethonium-induced fasciculations and myalgia.
The effect of pretreatment with suxamethonium, gallamine or pancuronium on suxamethonium-induced fasciculations and myalgia was studied in a controlled, randomized and double-blind clinical trial. Both fasciculations and myalgia were assessed on a four-point rating scale. There was no significant correlation between fasciculations and postoperative muscle pain at 24, 48 or 72 h, and pretreatmen...
متن کاملMetaphysics and medical ethics: a reply.
The total longitudinal form view of human beings is a metaphysical view which aims to locate our moral judgements about human embryos in a broader set of attitudes and characterisations. On this basis it has explanatory power and a real function in that it grounds our ethical discussion of embryos in other discourses. Contra Leavitt, this grounding suggests a broader criterion of relevance for ...
متن کاملSuxamethonium-induced porcine malignant hyperthermia.
Metabolic, haemodynamic and neuroendocrine responses to suxamethonium (SCh) were measured in five normal swine and five swine susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH), to compare the responses with those previously reported for halothane. Following SCh, the onset of MH was sooner and more abrupt than following halothane. The maximal changes in aerobic metabolism and body temperature sere simi...
