Abstract
Vecuronium provides additional flexibility to the clinician using neuromuscular-blocking drugs. Its shorter duration of action, lack of significant cardiovascular effects and lack of dependence on the kidney for elimination provide clinical advantages over, or alternatives to, currently available, nondepolarizing neuromuscular-blocking drugs.Keywords
