The effect of blood flow upon the activity of gallamine triethiodide
British Journal of Anaesthesia
|February 1, 1976
Abstract:
The onset, depth and recovery from paralysis produced by gallamine triethiodide were studied using the tibialis anterior muscle/sciatic nerve preparation in mongrel dogs, during changes in blood flow to this muscle. A roller pump was used to effect the blood flow changes via an aorto-femoral shunt. The onset and depth of paralysis were related directly to muscle blood flow. There was no correlation between the rate of recovery from paralysis and the blood flow to the muscle.
