The use of propanidid and lignocaine to reduce suxamethonium fasciculations.
A technique of induction of anaesthesia using propanidid, lignocaine and suxamethonium is described, and the muscle fasciculations that follow it are shown to be significantly less than those accompanying induction with methohexitone and suxamethonium.
