Abstract
Under light general anaesthesia the speed of onset of action of fazadinium, pancuronium, tubocurarine and suxamethonium has been assessed by measuring the decrease in the twitch height of the adductor pollicis muscle following administration of the drugs. Suxamethonium produced 95% depression of the twitch heigh significantly faster than any of the other drugs, while the onset of fazadinium was significantly more rapid than that of the other non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
