Pharmacokinetics
Suxamethonium has a rapid onset of action (30 seconds) and a short duration of action (3 to 6 minutes) with IV administration. The increased dose (2–3 mg/kg vs. 1 mg/kg in adults) requirement of succinylcholine in younger patients is thought to be due to its rapid distribution into an enlarged volume of extracellular fluid rather than an altered response to the action of the drug at neuromuscular junction nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.8 (Level III Grade C)
Practice points
|
Suxamethonium in combination with other drugs (analgesics and vagolytic agents) resulted in superior intubation conditions and a shorter procedure duration.1-6(Level II, Grade A)
Chloride anhydrous salt equates to 110mg in 2 mL of suxamethonium chloride which is 10% more suxamethonium than suxamethonium chloride dihydrate salt.
