Abstract
The action of droperidol on the tachycardia produced by atropine and on the serum concentration of cholinesterases was observed during balanced anaesthesia. Without atropine, the mean heart rates of patients who received fentanyl or fentanyl plus droperidol were similar. Atropine increased heart rate only in the presence of droperidol (PPP<0.05); this effect was independent of atropine.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
