title: A matched comparison of four suxamethonium administration techniques in patients with strabismus.
abstract: 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.
