Abstract
- Small dose of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants are often recommended as prior medication of succinylcholine in order to avoid the elevation of intraocular pressure elicited by succinylcholine The effects of muscle relaxants on the intraocular pressure were studied in 45 human subjects. Intraocular pressure was significantly lowerd by d-tubocurarine 3 mg from 14.7 mmHg to 11.3 mmHg, and by pancuronium 0.08 mg/kg from 15.6 mmHg to 13.4 mmHg. When succinylcholine was given alone, subjects shows a mean elevation in intraocular pressure. There were no significant changes in intraocular pressure between d-tubocurarine and pancuronium given prior to succinylcholine.
