Abstract:
The relationship between tubocurarine requirements and plasma levels of albumin and total globulin was investigated in 50 adult patients undergoing elective upper abdominal operation. No significant correlation was found with plasma proteins expressed in g/100 ml of plasma. A significant positive correlation between tubocurarine requirements and plasma total globulin corrected for packed cell volume (PCV) by multiplying, by (1-PCV) was demonstrated. This relationship decreased with time.
