succinylcholine and Craniocerebral Trauma

succinylcholine has been researched along with Craniocerebral Trauma in 17 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.

Craniocerebral Trauma: Traumatic injuries involving the cranium and intracranial structures (i.e., BRAIN; CRANIAL NERVES; MENINGES; and other structures). Injuries may be classified by whether or not the skull is penetrated (i.e., penetrating vs. nonpenetrating) or whether there is an associated hemorrhage.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Prevention of fasciculations during rapid-sequence intubation of head trauma patients can be accomplished as safely and effectively with minidose succinylcholine as with a defasciculating dose of pancuronium."9.07Rapid-sequence intubation of head trauma patients: prevention of fasciculations with pancuronium versus minidose succinylcholine. ( Koenig, KL, 1992)
"Prevention of fasciculations during rapid-sequence intubation of head trauma patients can be accomplished as safely and effectively with minidose succinylcholine as with a defasciculating dose of pancuronium."5.07Rapid-sequence intubation of head trauma patients: prevention of fasciculations with pancuronium versus minidose succinylcholine. ( Koenig, KL, 1992)
"Adult patients with head injuries were prospectively enrolled over a 1-year period by using the following inclusion criteria: Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3 to 8, transport time of greater than 10 minutes, and inability to intubate without RSI."2.70Paramedic-performed rapid sequence intubation of patients with severe head injuries. ( Bailey, D; Davis, D; Hoyt, D; Marshall, L; Ochs, M; Rosen, P, 2002)
"Management of the airway in trauma patients requires regular training in these techniques and the knowledge of complementary techniques allowing tracheal intubation or oxygenation to overcome difficult intubation and to prevent major complications as hypoxemia and aspiration."2.45Airway management in trauma. ( Amour, J; Birenbaum, A; Langeron, O, 2009)
"Adults with severe head trauma (Glasgow Coma Scale score 3 to 8) who were unable to be intubated without medications were enrolled."1.32The Combitube as a salvage airway device for paramedic rapid sequence intubation. ( Davis, DP; Hoyt, DB; Ochs, M; Valentine, C; Vilke, GM, 2003)
"We studied nine patients with isolated head injuries and 11 multiply injured patients with associated head injuries."1.29Blood pressure changes in head-injury patients during pre-hospital anaesthesia with propofol. ( Davis, GE; Heath, KJ; Samra, GS; Wilmink, AB; Wilson, AW, 1994)
