Minimal Intubating Dose of Succinylcholine: A Comparative Study of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 mg/kg Dose. Indian Journal of Clinical Practice. 2023 Jul; 34(2): 23-260971-0876http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/222137Muscle relaxants are integral part of modern balanced anesthesia and succinylcholine, a depolarizing drug, is in use despite its adverse effects. The excellent intubating condition, fastest onset and shortest duration of action make it an excellent choice for anesthesiologists. The conventional dose of 1.5-2 mg/kg is commonly used for obtaining relaxation for intubation. This study was conducted with much smaller dose of succinylcholine as 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 mg/kg to evaluate the acceptable intubating dose at 60 seconds, which was unlikely to have any untoward/side effects.Succinylcholinelow doseintubationJournal ArticleIndiaDept. of Anesthesiology Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, Bihar, India
