To decrease the likelihood of bradyarrhythmias in children during endotracheal intubation, succinylcholine(Anectine) is used with which of the following agents?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Succinylcholine administration can lead to bradycardia or bradyarrhythmias in children due to its depolarizing neuromuscular blockade effects. To counteract this detrimental effect and decrease the likelihood of bradyarrhythmias, atropine sulfate is commonly used in conjunction with succinylcholine. Atropine, an anticholinergic agent, works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors, which helps prevent vagal-induced bradycardia. This approach is especially important in pediatric patients to maintain a stable heart rate and hemodynamic status during endotracheal intubation.
