Atracurium for intubation in man. A clinical and electromyographic study.

Atracurium is a new competitive neuromuscular blocking agent. We prospectively studied intubating conditions 2.5 minutes after atracurium doses of 0.

Atracurium during halothane anesthesia in humans.

The neuromuscular effects of atracurium were studied in 20 patients anesthetized with 0.8% end-tidal halothane. Neuromuscular blockade was monitored by recording the electromyographic activity of the adductor pollicis muscle resulting from stimulation of the ulnar nerve.

Modification of atracurium blockade by halothane and by suxamethonium. A review of clinical experience.

The effects of halothane and of prior administration of suxamethonium on atracurium neuromuscular blockade have been investigated. Halothane potentiated the intensity of block produced by atracurium 0.1 or 0.

Comparison of i. m. diazepam and hydroxyzine as premedicants.

The effectiveness of diazepam as premedication when administered by two different i.m. techniques was compared with hydroxyzine in 84 male and 101 female patients.

Lorazepam and morphine for i.v. surgical premedication.

The effect of i.v. lorazepam alone, in doses of 2 mg and 4 mg, and combined with morphine 5 mg, were studied.

Diazepam and droperidol as i.v. premedicants.

The effects of i.v. diazepam and droperidol both alone and in combination administered as premedication were studied in 240 patients.

Droperidol, fentanyl and morphine for i.v. surgical premedication.

Fentanyl 0.1 mg and morphine 10 mg alone and in combination with droperidol 2.5 and 5.

Lorazepam, hyoscine and atropine as i.v. surgical premedicants.

Lorazepam 2 and 4 mg alone and in combination with atropine 0.4 mg and hyoscine 0.4 mg were studied as i.

Comparison of i.v. diazepam and hydroxyzine as surgical premedicants.

Diazepam and hydroxyzine as i.v. surgical premedicants were compared.
