  • Title: Single dose suxamethonium and muscle pain in pregnancy.
    Author: Thind GS, Bryson TH.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1983 Aug; 55(8):743-5. PubMed ID: 6882612.
    Abstract:
    The frequency of muscle pain was studied in two groups of patients. One group consisted of 106 women undergoing Caesarean section; the other comprised 20 pre-menopausal women undergoing hysterectomy. Both groups received a single bolus injection of suxamethonium 100 mg to facilitate tracheal intubation. There was a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of muscle pain in the pregnant group (7.5%) compared with the non-pregnant group (30%).
