He hadundergone soft tissue release with K-wire fixation. After induction with 50%N2O in Oxygen andSevoflurane, succinylcholine was given for intubation.After that the anesthesiologist found thatmasseter muscle was rigid and could not open his mouth. Intubation was successfully done byusing non-depolarizing muscle relaxant (atracurium). The patient had uneventful anesthesia andoperation after intubation. |
