Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers and the eye: a study of intraocular pressure. Pancuronium versus alcuronium.
Intraocular pressure remained stable when either pancuronium or alcuronium was used to produce muscle relaxation, suggesting that alcuronium may be a reasonable alternative to pancuronium for routine surgery of the open eye, particularly in elderly patients with limited cardiac reserve.
