ABSTRACT
Serum potassium and sodium changes following suxamethonium (1.5 mg/kg) administration were studied in 25 patients with septic peritonitis and 25 with no signs of peritonitis. A highly significant rise (P less than 0.001) in serum potassium (0.1-2.5 mEq/l) above the pre-induction levels was observed following suxamethonium administration in patients with septic peritonitis with maximum rise at 5 min following suxamethonium. This rise in potassium was significantly higher (P less than 0.001) in peritonitis patients at 3,5, and 10 min interval. A positive correlation was found between rise of potassium and duration of illness (P less than 0.01). No statistically significant changes were observed in serum sodium levels in both groups.
