Intramuscular Succinylcholine for Endotracheal Intubation in Infants and Children

J. BELDAVS M.D.1

1 Hôpital Maisonneuve, Montreal, P.Q.

In a series of 155 infants and children, relaxation for endotracheal intubation during the period of induction of anaesthesia was attained by giving succinyl-choline in the form of Anectine intramuscularly.

In forty conscious patients the intramuscular Anectine was given first, followed by induction with some anaesthetic mixture by mask; but most patients were rendered unconscious before the injection, which was mainly with cyclopropane.

If the appropriate dosage of Anectine was given, all the patients were fully relaxed within two to three minutes after the intramuscular injection, and could be easily intubated.

Presented at the Annual Meeting, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, June 25, 1958.
