Summary
The lower esophageal sphincter（LES）plays a key role in preventing regurgitation and
aspiration. The pressure of LES partly comes from striated muscles derived from the crural
portion of the diaphragm. The effect of succinylcholine on esophagogastric junction during
anesthesia induction is not clear. We conducted a prospective interventional study on the
effect of succinylcholine on the barrier pressure (BrP) of the esophagogastric junction.
