A Study of Plasma Potassium and Electrocardiographic Changes after a Single Dose of Succinylcholine

WILLIAM EVERS M.D., GABOR B. RACZ M.B., and ALLEN B. DOBKIN M.D.

Electrocardiographic monitoring and serial plasma potassium determinations before, during, and after intravenous succinylcholine were performed for 100 clinical anaesthetics. We found that the appearance and magnitude of plasma potassium changes had no temporal relationship to the observed transient electrocardiographic abnormalities. In no instance did appreciable circulatory changes take place.
