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 کاملFibromyalgia and Diffuse Myalgia
Chronic pain is one of the most common complaints encountered by primary care clinicians. Often, patients present not with well localized pain but with diffuse and nonspecific myalgias. Fibromyalgia is the most common etiology for this type of pain. In community-based studies, 2% [1] and 1.2% to 6.2% of school-age children screened positive for fibromyalgia [2–4]. Women and girls are at higher ...
متن کاملGoodbye suxamethonium!
No drugs in anaesthesia are more problematic than suxamethonium. Yet, no drugs have survived as suxamethonium does in spite of crisis after crisis, and attempt after attempt at its replacement. For decades, suxamethonium has taught us neuromuscular pharmacology and provided us with an encyclopaedia of side effects, while benefiting millions and millions of our anaesthetised patients. With the a...
