THE EFFECT OF TUBOCURARINE ON ULNAR NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY

Abstract
Nerve conduction velocity was studied in the ulnar nerve of human subjects during general anaesthesia. An increase in velocity of between 1.9 and 4.8 per cent occurred following the administration of paralytic doses of tubocurarine to subjects receiving nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane anaesthesia in whom ventilation was controlled. This increase in velocity did not appear to be related to a change of subcutaneous temperature.
