succinylcholine and Body Weight

succinylcholine has been researched along with Body Weight in 31 studies

Succinylcholine: A quaternary skeletal muscle relaxant usually used in the form of its bromide, chloride, or iodide. It is a depolarizing relaxant, acting in about 30 seconds and with a duration of effect averaging three to five minutes. Succinylcholine is used in surgical, anesthetic, and other procedures in which a brief period of muscle relaxation is called for.
succinylcholine : A quaternary ammonium ion that is the bis-choline ester of succinic acid.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The current study attempts to characterize the contributory roles of chronic administration of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants typified by d-tubocurarine (dTC) and/or of immobilization on AChR upregulation and the relationship of these AChR changes to SCh-induced hyperkalemia."7.69Prolonged d-tubocurarine infusion and/or immobilization cause upregulation of acetylcholine receptors and hyperkalemia to succinylcholine in rats. ( Martyn, JA; Yanez, P, 1996)
"(1) To investigate changes in arterial oxygen saturation via pulse oximeter (SpO2) during apnea and after reinstitution of manual ventilation at SpO2 of 95% or 90% following rapid sequence induction of anesthesia in children after 2-minute preoxygenation; (2) to determine whether the setting of a safe threshold of apneic period to an SpO2 of 95% is appropriate in children during anesthetic induction; and (3) to evaluate the influences of age, body weight, and height on the time from the start of apnea to SpO2 of 95%."5.08Study of the safe threshold of apneic period in children during anesthesia induction.

" No evidence supporting the concept that dosage should be related to patient's weight was found."2.65Reduction of post-suxamethonium pain by pretreatment with four non-depolarizing agents. ( Bennetts, FE; Khalil, KI, 1981)
"Atracurium was infused for the first 1 h to maintain a target steady state plasma concentration of 1."1.28Pharmacokinetics of atracurium during continuous infusion. ( Beemer, GH; Bjorksten, AR; Crankshaw, DP, 1990)
" When dosage was calculated on a surface area basis, there was a linear relationship for infants and children as a single group between the log dose and the times to recover to 50 and 90 per cent neuromuscular transmission."1.25Neuromuscular blocking effects of succinylcholine in infants and children.
