Succinylcholine is the preferred muscle relaxant used for rapid sequence induction with a minor adverse effect that leads to an unpleasant experience for the patients. Administration of IV lidocaine or Vecuronium before succinylcholine has been shown to decrease the incidence and severity of succinylcholine-induced fasciculation and postoperative myalgia.
