A matched comparison of four suxamethonium administration techniques in patients with strabismus.
Four methods of administering suxamethonium were composed in patients undergoing surgery for strabismus who were matched for sex, age, weight and height. Pre-treatment with tubocurarine afforded the best control of suxamethonium-induced sequelae. Serum potassium remained within normal limits suggesting that individuals with strabismus behave differently from those free of this defect.
