succinylcholine and Tachycardia

succinylcholine has been researched along with Tachycardia in 46 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.

Tachycardia: Abnormally rapid heartbeat, usually with a HEART RATE above 100 beats per minute for adults. Tachycardia accompanied by disturbance in the cardiac depolarization (cardiac arrhythmia) is called tachyarrhythmia.

"Cardiac arrest due to hyperkalemia is a known complication of succinylcholine administration in patients with neuromuscular disease, extensive burns, and prolonged immobility."3.70Cardiac arrest due to succinylcholine-induced hyperkalemia in a patient with wound botulism. ( Chakravarty, EF; Jensen, WA; Kagawa, FT; Kirsch, CM, 2000)
"A case of ventricular tachycardia in a healthy child subsequent to onset of a succinylcholine infusion is described."3.67Succinylcholine-induced ventricular arrhythmia during halothane anesthesia. ( Kanda, F; Kashimoto, S; Kumazawa, T, 1985)
" Succinylcholine administration caused prolonged, severe muscle fasciculations followed by tachycardia, and an elevated blood pressure."3.67Unusual response following use of succinylcholine in a horse anesthetized with halothane. ( Hildebrand, SV; Riedesel, DH, 1985)
" A patient with strabismus (esotropia) had tachycardia and masseter muscle rigidity on exposure to succinylcholine chloride and halothane, but because of rapid recognition of the condition and discontinuation of the procedure, the potentially lethal complications of malignant hyperthermia did not develop."3.66Suspected malignant hyperthermia in a strabismus patient. A case report. ( Dodd, MJ; Phattiyakul, P; Silpasuvan, S, 1981)
"Among all the drugs used for general anesthesia, neuromuscular blockers appear to play a prominent role in the incidence of severe adverse reactions."2.40Adverse effects of neuromuscular blockers and their antagonists. ( Magboul, MM; Naguib, M, 1998)
"Anaphylactic reactions are far less common than anaphylactoid reactions, but they nevertheless represent more than half of the life-threatening reactions that occur in anaesthetic practice."2.39Muscle relaxants and histamine release. ( Moss, J, 1995)
"The use of Roc was associated with hypoxemia prior to RSI and VL."1.48Peri-intubation factors affecting emergency physician choice of paralytic agent for rapid sequence intubation of trauma patients. ( Caputo, ND; Donner, L; Kanter, M; Lott, C; West, JR, 2018)
"Since it is known that malignant hyperthermia has a familial predilection, it seems very important that clinical, biochemical, and morphological investigations be performed such as CPK estimations and muscular biopsies not only of the patients but also of the relatives in order to rule out this type of latent myopathy."1.25[Histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural findings in malignant hyperthermia (author's transl)].
