Applied only in the conditions of a specialized department with the availability of equipment for artificial ventilation and personnel who own this technique, and against a background of general anesthesia.
Pre-introduction 1 minute prior to infusion of suxamethonium iodide with a drug of 3-4 mg d-tubocurarin or 10-15 mg of diplatin prevent fibrillar muscle twitching and the subsequent appearance of muscle pain.
With the appropriate dose and repeated administration can be used for longer operations, however, for prolonged relaxation of the muscles, nondepolarizing muscle relaxants are usually used,which are administered after a preliminary intrusion of the trachea against a background of suxamethonium iodide.
Slow introduction of the drug, as well as a preliminary intravenous injection of atropine at a dose of 1-1.5 mg significantly prevents bradycardia and increased bronchial secretion.
Patients with renal insufficiency (without signs of hyperkalemia and neuropathy) are given a single dose of the drug in moderate doses, but do not apply for multiple injections or at elevated doses because of the risk of developing hyperkalemia.
Prolonged muscle relaxation with possible apnea can be caused by several reasons: "atypical" cholinesterase of blood serum, hereditary insufficiency of serum cholinesterase, or a temporary decrease in its level. If the drug is injected repeatedly and 25-30 minutes after the last injection, the patient does not restore muscle tone, there is superficial breathing, one can think of the transition of the depolarizing unit to an antidepolarizing one (the occurrence of a "double block"). To remove this effect, it is necessary to use proserin according to the usual method: the vein is administered first
atropine in a dose of 0.5-0.7 mg (0.5-0.7 ml of a 0.1% solution), the pulse becomes more frequent and after 1 or 2 minutes intravenously injected prozerin at a dose of 1.5 mg (3 ml 0.05 % solution).
In children, young patients and women (mainly in the vagotonics), a short-term bradycardia may occur, and in some cases, an asystole.
After 10-12 hours after using the drug, muscle pain may occur.
With repeated administration of the drug, excessively prolonged muscle relaxation and prolonged apnea can sometimes develop.
