Thirty ASA physical status I or II outpatients scheduled to undergo short procedures (less than 1 hr in duration) requiring tracheal intubation received either 1.0 mg/kg succinylcholine or 0.20 mg/kg (2.5 x ED95) or 0.25 mg/kg (3 x ED95) mivacurium. A N2O/O2/narcotic anesthetic technique was utilized and the ulnar nerve was stimulated with subcutaneous electrodes placed at the wrist. Tracheal intubation was attempted in all patients either 2 min after mivacurium or 1 min after succinylcholine. Intubation conditions were not different between the succinylcholine and mivacurium groups or between the two mivacurium groups. The onset and duration of neuromuscular blockade were shorter with succinylcholine than with mivacurium. Suppression of the T1 response to 90% of baseline occurred in 0.9 min with 1.0 mg/kg succinylcholine and at 2.2 and 1.5 min respectively, with 0.20 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg mivacurium. Initial recovery of the T1 response occurred at 6.4 min after 1.0 mg/kg succinylcholine and 12.7 and 13.6 min respectively after 0.20 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg mivacurium. Subsequent to initial recovery from the intubating dose of relaxant, infusions of mivacurium or succinylcholine were administered to maintain approximately 95% block. The mean infusion rates were 6.6 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 mivacurium and 41.2 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 for succinylcholine. Spontaneous recovery from neuromuscular blockade occurred more quickly after succinylcholine than after mivacurium: the time from cessation of infusion to recovery of T1 to 95% of baseline was 6.5 min in patients given succinylcholine and 16.7 min in patients given mivacurium. When reversal was in order, residual mivacurium-induced blockade was readily antagonized by 0.045 mg/kg neostigmine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
