Abstract

Succinylcholine is a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug which is used for intubating the patient in dosage of 1-1.5 mgr/kgr. Nowadays, it is also sold for rifles as an injector form to capture the stray dogs. The introduction of the field of veterinary medicine has increased the availability of succinilcolin. In this study, a case was introduced who injected to his left arm a 3 ml (60 mg) pharmaceuti-cal product whose active substance was succinylcholine and applied to the emer-gency service one hour later with non-specific complaints such as fatigue and ab-dominal pain. The significance of having knowledge of succinylcholine by emer-gency doctors owing to severe systemic effects, particularly respiratory depres-sion is emphasized. © 2015, Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine.
