Abstract
This study demonstrated that pretreatment of succinylcholine with rocuronium failed to decrease the incidence or the severity of postoperative myalgia. However, in most patients, pretreatment was associated with muscle weakness before loss of consciousness. Thus, there is no convincing evidence supporting routine pretreatment with succinylcholine.
