Single dose suxamethonium and muscle pain in pregnancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The frequency of muscle pain was studied in two groups of patients. One group consisted of 106 women undergoing Caesarean section; the other comprised 20 pre-menopausal women undergoing hysterectomy. Both groups received a single bolus injection of suxamethonium 100 mg to facilitate tracheal intubation. There was a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of muscle pain in the pregnant group (7.5%) compared with the non-pregnant group (30%).

The 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 کاملPretreatment with non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents and suxamethonium-induced increases in resting jaw tension in children.
We have studied the effect of prior administration of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs on suxamethonium-induced increases in masseter muscle tension in 21 children aged 3-10 yr, anaesthetized with nitrous oxide and halothane using supramaximal stimulation of the ulnar nerve and the nerve to masseter. Resting tension and isometric force of contraction were measured in the adductor p...
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...
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...
