How much Dantrium® IV or dantrolene sodium for injection should be stocked?
If any potent volatile agents are used, a full supply of Dantrium® IV or dantrolene sodium for injection, 36 vials, should be available on site.

If neither potent volatile agents nor succinylcholine are used or available, IV dantrolene does not need to be present.
