Muscle Relaxant of Depolarizing


One of the following muscle relaxant is depolarizing type: 

A. Inj. Pancuronium 
B. Inj. Tubocurarine 
C. Inj. Vecuronium 
D. Inj. Suxamethonium

Ans. D.  Inj Suxamethonium.

Important about Succinyl choline: 
• Succinylcholine is a depolarizing MR. 
• Succinylcholine causes Hyperkalemia 
• Succinylcholine causes muscle pain 
• Succinyleholine increases Intraocular pressure 
• Succinyicholine increases intragastric pressure 
• Succinylcholine increases Intracranial pressure 
• Succinylcholine triggers Malignant Hyperthermia 
• Succinyicholine causes vagal stimulation 
• Succinylcholine is the shortest acting MR 
• Succinylcholine causes dual-biphasic block 
Succinylcholine has shortest duration of action due to rapid hydrolysis by PSEUDOCHOLINESTERASE.
