Observations with Norcuron in general surgery cases

Norcuron, a neuromuscular blocking agent of medium duration of action has been applied to 50 general surgery patients. The muscle relaxant assured the muscle relaxation required for performing operations of 25'-180' duration, if required by repeating the drug administration. The drug had no cardiovascular side-effects. It's action could be easily and rapidly antagonized. In spite of the relative overdosage used by the author unexpected phenomenon did not occur and the unwanted effects of Norcuron did not develop. The product is a myorelaxant which may be safely and flexibly used and the doses of which may be easily changed.
