Inhibition of succinylcholine-induced increased intraocular pressure by non-depolarizing muscle relaxants.

TL;DR: The alternative non-depolarizing relaxant pretreat-ment-barbiturate-succinylcholine technique may offer the advantages of more rapid onset of relaxation with only minor increases in intraocular pressure and in a carefully controlled rapid sequence induction technique may be the most acceptable method of handling emergency penetrating eye injuries.

TL;DR: Use of this method confirms that suxamethonium 1 mg/kg causes a statistically significant rise in IOP which lasts for 10 minutes.

Intraocular pressure changes during rapid sequence induction and intubation: a comparison of rocuronium, atracurium, and succinylcholine.

Journal of Clinical Anesthesia

TL;DR: Rocuronium, succinylcholine, and atracurium all provided sufficient muscle relaxation to achieve successful intubation and no increase in intraocular pressure, but rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg provided significantly better intubating conditions compared with atracuium, and it resulted in a significantly greater decrease in IOP compared with baseline than succinyl choline.
