Abstract:
:Integrated electromyographic studies in burned patients, and in normal controls, during the administration of small doses of suxamethonium (0.1 or 0.2 mg kg-1) have shown that the level of paralysis and the duration of paralysis are significantly increased in burn patients and that the effect is greater with larger burns. Repeated studies on patients using these small doses have shown that patients with burns pass through a phase of extreme sensitivity to the effects of suxamethonium, usually sometime between 4 and 12 days after the burn.
