CHANGES IN PLASMA POTASSIUM CONCENTRATION AFTER DEPOLARIZING BLOCKERS IN ANAESTHETIZED MAN

摘要: SUMMARY Changes in plasma potassium concentration after administration of depolarizing neuromuscular blockers were measured patients during halothane-nitrous oxide anaesthesia. Suxamethonium 100 mg intravenously caused a peak rise 0.55 m.equiv/l. and decamethonium 4 produced an elevation similar magnitude. Injured had increases averaging 1.80 there being direct correlation between degree time since injury. By giving tubocurarine 0.1 mg/kg body weight 5 minutes beforehand, the by suxamethonium, though not decamethonium, could be halved.
