AbstractIn a double-blind study, 67 young adult patients undergoing anaesthesia for dental extractions were allocated at random to receive either 0.5 mg/kg or 1.5 mg/kg suxamethonium. A greater increase in arterial pressure was seen following induction in the 1.5 mg/kg group, although overall intubating conditions were similar in the two groups. Suxamethonium-associated muscle pains were significantly more common in the group which received the larger dose (p less than 0.05).
