Comparison of gallamine with d-tubocurarine effects on fasciculations after succinylcholine.
Administration of either gallamine or d-tubocurarine before injecting succinylcholine diminished both the incidence and intensity of muscle fasciculations. Gallamine was more efficient than curare in this respect, 30 mg./70kg. almost entirely preventing fasciculations.
