succinylcholine and Muscular Dystrophy

succinylcholine has been researched along with Muscular Dystrophy in 35 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.

( Henderson, WA, 1984)

( Henderson, WA, 1984)
" Following an uneventful induction of anaesthesia with halothane, nitrous oxide and O2, succinylcholine resulted in bilateral masseter muscle spasm and then, in rapid sequence, ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest."3.67Duchenne muscular dystrophy and malignant hyperthermia--two case reports. ( Stanley, TH; Wang, JM, 1986)
"About 50% of malignant hyperthermia patients carry a mutation in the RYR1 gene."1.31Suxamethonium-induced rhabdomyolysis in a healthy middle-aged man. ( Annila, P; Koivisto, P; Le Puura, AI, 2000)

"Three cases of muscular dystrophy are reported on (8 years, 4 months, 10 months) in which serious conditions arose under anaesthetic (bradycardia, asystolia, hyperkalemia, rising CPK)."1.28[Muscular dystrophy as a risk factor in anesthesia]. ( Eyrich, K; Schneider, V; Stelzner, J, 1992)
"In five of the children, cardiac arrest occurred despite apparently adequate respiratory support."1.27Anaesthesia and progressive muscular dystrophy. ( Bush, GH; Smith, CL, 1985)
