Abstract
A cardiovascular collapse occurred in a 20-year-old white paraplegic man on the 27th post-injury day, a few minutes after the intravenous injection of succinyl- choline 75 mg. On the 128th post-injury day, the patient underwent decompressive laminectomy of L3, L4 and L5. Anaesthesia and surgery were uneventful at this time. Serum potassium and a 12-lead electrocardiographic tracings revealed no evidence of hyperkalaemia. The following drugs were used: Droperidol, tubocurarine, thiopental, gallamine, nitrous oxide and fentanyl. Succinylcholine was omitted. © 1973 Nature Publishing Group.
