“…Intramuscular suxamethonium has been advocated for endotracheal intubation. Beldays (1962) found that using 1.5 mg/lb. body weight there was complete paralysis after 1 minute or less in infants under 1 year old.…”

The belief that the use of muscle relaxants in infants and children is both unnecessary and dangerous has not been substantiated by subsequent clinical experience. The important advances that have been made recently in paediatric anaesthesia are due largely to the introduction of muscle relaxants, which have reduced the need for toxic agents to a minimum and have emphasized the importance of control of pulmonary ventilation. Furthermore, muscle relaxants now play an important role in the management of a wide variety of medical and surgical conditions.

“…body weight of 10 per cent suxamethonium was used in children under 3 years and after the same time when 2 mg/lb. body weight was used in children over 4 years of age (Beldays, 1959). In certain circumstances such as the presence of convulsions the intramuscular route may be justified.…”

“…Some studies have reported that INM has advantages, such as rapid absorption into the systemic circulation, which allow rapid onset of action, and willingness of the patient to comply with treatment (3,4 An unusual complication following laparoscopic pyloromyotomy and a classic pediatric anesthesia dilemma doi:10.1111/j.1460-9592.2008.02550.x SIR IR-The anesthetic management of an infant scheduled for an emergency exploratory laparotomy surgery, who had been fed before surgery and had multiple failed attempts to secure an intravenous access line is described.

“…Occasionally, in pediatric practice, compromises have to be made in the interest of humane approach. A multi orifice 14 F orogastric tube has been shown to be reasonably successful in emptying gastric contents in patients with pyloric stenosis (4). Intramuscular succinylcholine (4 mg·kg −1 ) provides good intubating conditions in 2–3 min (4) and is a reliable option to help secure the airway in a patient with no intravenous access.…”
