Abstract

Succinylcholine (sch)-induced increase in serum myoglobin concentration is essentially influenced by the type of anaesthetic agent selected. Under halothane anaesthesia, for example, Inagaki and co-workers [7] observed an increase 34 to 54 times greater than under the influence of intravenous anaesthesia with Althesin or thiopental. The newer volatile substances have as yet not been studied concerning this aspect.
