The Administration of Succinylcholine After Rapid Sequence Intubation in Severe Head Injury Patients does not Increase the Plasma Level

---

This study aimed to identify the changes of plasma potassium level after inintubation with rapid sequenceintubation method in severe head injury ptients using sucinylcholine as muscle relaxant. Subjects are severe head injury patients with glasgow coma scale (GCS)≤8. Plasma potassium level was measured twice, before intubation and (minutes 5,15,20) after intubation. Another variable that also measured were blood gas analyze, time intubated and injury in another organ. There were 34 patients who came to Emergency Department (ED) of Saiful Anwar General Hospital since January until April 209. Mean llevel of plasma potassium changes after intubation minute 5 (-0.01529); minute 10(-0.01971); minute 15(0.04147); minute 20(0.00059). Statistical analysis using paired test revealed no significance of this difference (p>0.05). There were no changes of plasma potassium level in severe head injury patients after intubation with succinylcholine.
