Abstract

The degree, duration of and recovery from neuromuscular blockade induced by atracurium in a patient with myasthenia gravis were monitored and recorded using the evoked compound muscle action potentials (EMG). The anaesthetic and perioperative management were simplified by the use of this technique. The significant of the behaviour of atracurium is discussed. © 1984 The Macmillan Press Ltd.
