The avoidance of suxamethonium pain: a study of patients presenting for laparoscopy

SummaryA comparison was made of postoperative morbidity following two anaesthetic techniques for day case laparoscopies. One group of patienrs was allowed to breathe spontaneously after intubation under suxamethonium. The second group received atracuriwn and their lungs were mechanically ventilated. Patients in the controlled ventilation group experienced signi@cantly less severe sore throats and muscle pain in the first 24 hours postoperatively than the patients who breathed spontaneously. Both techniques proved to be safe and are suitable for day case laparoscopy. The safety of patients is discussed in relation to the choice of anaesthetic technique used.
