The effect of continuous propofol administration on creatine kinase and suxamethonium-induced postoperative myalgia was evaluated in 50 patients randomised into two groups of 25 patients each. Induction of anaesthesia was identical in all patients. Anaesthesia was maintained with 66% nitrous oxide in oxygen supplemented by either isoflurane 1% or continuous propofol. Creatine kinase was measured before and after operation. Myalgia was evaluated postoperatively by a blinded observer. The median level of myalgia was reduced significantly in the continuous propofol group (p = 0.011). The median creatine kinase value increased significantly in the isoflurane group (from 90 to 160 IU, p = 0.001).

D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.
