The mechanism of succinylcholine-induced hyperkalemia was studied in three lesions affecting canine gastrocnemius muscle. Dogs were treated for 1 month before study: 10 with normal activity, 5 with unilateral sciatic nerve section, active on 3 legs, 5 with unilateral cast immobilization of a hind limb and pelvis, active on 3 legs, and 7 inactive with T6 section of the spinal cord.

متن کاملSuccinylcholine-induced hyperkalemia in patients with renal failure?
T he administration of succinylcholine (SCh) in humans results in a mild and transient hyperkalemia. In normal individuals, the increase in serum potassium (K) is approximately 0.5–1.0 mEq/L, occurs within 3–5 minutes after the IV administration of SCh, and lasts ,10–15 minutes (1). This increase is probably caused by K release from cells as a result of depolarization at the neuromuscular junct...
