In my small practice I find myself using a large amount of succinycholine for intubations. I use the drug fairly often except obvious contraindiactions (Acute hyperkalemia, MH-succebtible patients, Renal failure, etc) I have found that my patients NEVER complain of myalgias afterward. I deal with a lot of young healthy muscular patients. Are the myalgia effects of succinycholine overblown? I know some providers at previous institutions whom would avoid?
