| Abstract: | The new relaxant drug Atracurium was tested in clinical practice and the results revealed. 40 patients of the age of 25 - 62 years undergoing abdominal surgery were given the drug, monitored and clinically investigated in order to evaluate the properties of the drug. lt can be concluded that atracurium can be successfully used for endotracheal intubation. The rate of recovery after single or repeated bolus is fast and predictable and can be accomplished without the need for neostigmine. Nevertheless paralysis can be rapidly antagonised by neostigmine. lt has no cardiovascular side effects, none or only slight cumulation, and causes probably very slight release of histamine. lts inactivation is likely to be independent of renal and hepatic function. |
