A matched comparison of four suxamethonium administration techniques in patients with strabismus

Abstract

Four methods of administering suxamethonium were compared in patients undergoing surgery for strabismus who were matched for sex, age, weight and height. Pre-treatment with tubocurarine afforded the best control of suxamethonium-induced sequelae. Serum potassium remained within normal limits suggesting that individuals with strabismus behave differently from those free of this defect. © 1982 The Macmillan Press Ltd.
