Succinyl choline

Stephen,

I guess we're all on the same wavelength after all.  The new non
depolarisers may indeed one day replace succinyl choline -  but for the time
being sux is still a great drug and many of its "drawbacks" are either
uncommon or insignificant - especially when compared with the alternative of
losing an airway.

Merry Christmas,

John

Please forgive.  I clearly left out the /kg working late at night.  I also
did not mean to be insulting.  I do believe that the new low potency NMBAs
will replace succinylcholine.  This is a personal opinion but based on
experience
