The Effect of the Intubation Dosage of Succinylcholine on Plasma Potassium Levels (Pengaruh Suksinilkolin Dosis Intubasi terhadap Kadar Kalium dalam Darah)

---

An experimental study on the effect of succinylcholine 1 1/2 mg/kg BW given intravenously to facilitate intubation plasma potassium level changing has been done during the period of August 1993 until March 1994. Fifty-eight patients (ASA 1-2) included in this study were selected consecutively. Patients with disturbance of renal function, tetraplegia, paraplegia, post-combustio and post-multiple trauma were excluded from this study. Blood samples were drawn four times : pre-induction, just after fasciculation, three minutes and five minutes post fasciculation. Plasma potassium levels were measured by flame photometer. Statistical analysis used ANOVA and t-test. There were no significant changes on plasma potassium level after succinylcholine infection. The increase of plasma potassium 0.4 mEq/L and 0.9 mEq/L were found in 18 (13.03 percent) and 6 (10.34 percent) patients respectively.
