Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. Intubation
2. Electroconvulsive therapy
3. Total hip replacement
4. Craniotomy
5. Mitral valve replacement
Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale 1: Succinylcholine (Anectine) is indicated for very short procedures such as intubation.
Rationale 2: Succinylcholine (Anectine) is indicated for very short procedures such as electroconvulsive therapy.
Rationale 3: Succinylcholine (Anectine) is indicated for very short procedures. A total hip replacement is not a short procedure.
Rationale 4: Succinylcholine (Anectine) is indicated for very short procedures. A craniotomy is not a short procedure.
Rationale 5: Succinylcholine (Anectine) is indicated for very short procedures. Mitral valve replacement is not a short procedure.
Global Rationale: Succinylcholine (Anectine) is indicated for very short procedures such as intubation and electroconvulsive therapy. It would not be appropriate for a total hip replacement, a craniotomy, or mitral valve replacement.
