Abstract
Thirteen young and thirteen elderly patients undergoing elective surgery were given an anaesthetic using tubocurarine as the sole muscle relaxant. Following reversal with neostigmine, the time taken to recover from neuromuscular blockade was measured. No significant difference was found between the two groups of patients.Keywords
