Abstract
A fatal case of suicidal injection of pancuronium bromide is presented. Pancuronium was detected in blood and urine by ion-pair extraction and fluorometry. An evaluation of the fluorometric procedure for the determination of pancuronium in postmortem blood, serum and urine is presented. Stability of the extracted ion-pair, possible interferences from other drugs, and the effects of specimen storage were studied.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
