Abstract
Four case histories are presented illustrating the unpleasant and serious reactions that may follow precurarization with small doses of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants. The importance of preoperative information, the necessity of relating the dose of the precurarizing drug to the weight of the patient and the possibility of hypersensitivity to this drug are emphasized.Keywords
