title: Effects of succinylcholine on the electroencephalogram of dogs.
abstract: Electroencephalograms of 20 dogs given succinylcholine and concurrent artificial respiration were recorded. The amplitudes of the fast activity of the electroencephalograms were approximately one-fifth that observed in awake dogs. In addition, the occurrence of slow waves (6 to 8 Hz) was more marked in those dogs treated with succinylcholine. Succinylcholine caused a low amplitude dominant activity with increased moderate amplitude low frequency waves.
