Abstract
- The changes of the serum calcium, sodium and potassium concentrations after use of succinylcholine, d-tubocurarine and pancuronium were compared before anesthesia with during anesthesia in 60 surgical patients. In succinylcholine administration group, potassium concentration was significantly increased at 20 and 30 minutes and calcium concentration was slightly decreased at 10, 20 and 30 minutes and sodium concentration was decreased at 10 minutes and increased at 20minutes slightly. In d-tubocurarine administration group, sodium concentration was significantly decreased at 10 and 20 minutes, but calcium and potassium concentration were not changed during anesthesia. In pancuronium administration group, clacium, sodium and potassium concentration were not cahgnes during anesthesia.
