Malignant Hyperthermia in Sweden: Clinical Presentations and Genetic Findings. [PDF]

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
ABSTRACT Introduction Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic, hypermetabolic and potentially lethal reaction to potent volatile anaesthetics and the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. To improve the understanding of MH, the aim of this retrospective study was to describe the Swedish cohort with respect to clinical manifestations, demographics ...

Electroconvulsive Therapy for Severe Refractory Tardive Dystonia Without Active Depression: A Case Report. [PDF]

Neuropsychopharmacol Rep
Electroconvulsive therapy produced clinically meaningful improvement in severe refractory tardive dystonia without active depression, including recovery of independent ambulation. However, symptom recurrence after discontinuation highlights the potential need for continuation or maintenance strategies.

Effect of pre-treatment with rocuronium and vecuronium on post succinylcholine fasciculations, serum potassium, and postoperative myalgia: A prospective, randomized, double-blind study

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Succinylcholine with quick onset, ultra short duration of action, and complete predictable paralysis has been the best drug for endotracheal intubation but the occurrence of side effects such as muscle fasciculations, postoperative myalgia ...

A comparison between succinylcholine and rocuronium on the recovery profile of the laryngeal muscles during intraoperative neuromonitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve: A prospective porcine model

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
The use of succinylcholine and rocuronium are reportedly feasible during intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in thyroid surgery. This study aimed to investigate and compare the recovery profiles of succinylcholine

Comparison of rocuronium at two different doses and succinylcholine for endotracheal intubation in adult patients for elective surgeries

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2016
Background: The effects of rocuronium at two different doses, that is, 0.6 mg/kg (2 × ED95) and 0.9 mg/kg (3 × ED95), were compared with succinylcholine (2 mg/kg) when used for endotracheal intubation in adult patients for elective surgeries under ...

Comparison of 0.3mg/kg, 0.6mg/kg and 1.0mg/kg succinylcholine in producing acceptable intubating conditions among adult patients at the Jos university teaching hospital

Nigerian Journal of Medicine, 2019
BACKGROUND: Succinylcholine at 1.0 mg/kg usually provides acceptable tracheal intubation condition within 60 seconds. The return of respiratory function following this dose is not quick enough to prevent oxyhaemoglobin desaturation when ventilation is ...
